and I have a good start on building the 'alternative' you were saying someone
should just go and build. This is a prototype, so far only focused on the
web interface and some community tools. The other needs are on our list
but should really be done on "the" OSGeo server and not this
prototype. That is, we don't want to start porting SVN repositories,
project mailing lists, etc. onto this temp. server set up we have.</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span class=apple-style-span><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>In my opinion, the next
step is getting some cash to devote to sysadmin/support and server
infrastructure/hardware. This whole project of getting a transition plan
together has landed in Jo and my's laps, which I'm fine with, but we are both
ultimately still working off the side of our desks. I hope you are still
considering putting an ED in place, because moving these kinds of projects
along could easily be managed by the ED so board isn't micro-managing the
affair and feeling helpless. I'm not sure volunteers will be able to take
it all the way, especially on the sysadmin side where we need some guaranteed
quality of service.</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>

to leave this until October. Having as much of this started as possible
for the FOSS4G conference is a good target, at least for the web/community UI
side of things. There will be increased momentum around OSGeo by then,
and at EuroOSCON - I'd hate to still have a bad web site when we are promoting
at those events.</span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>
