<P><FONT SIZE=2>Have we discussed the cost yet? How does it work against the budget? The idae is to have something ready when our CN contract is up, yes? This is the first I've heard about FOSS4G. Sounds great if the money is available.<BR>

Tyler,<BR>
just to make sure... The OSGeo treasurer said go for it. To me that means<BR>
that we should get the Drupal prototype rolled out productive at OSUOSL<BR>
the sooner the better, start migrating right away and have it done by<BR>
FOSS4G.<BR>
<BR>
If this is not correct someone please holler. Else we will need to inform<BR>
WebCom asap.<BR>
<BR>
