Hi Rob<br>
<br>
If you haven't already found it, you might want to draw upon prior
foss4g experience in <a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSS4G_Handbook</a><br>
<br>
I'd also encourage you to add to this Handbook as you come up with
new ideas.<br>
In particular, I really like your community voting ranking system.
It would be good to capture how you are doing it such that others
can follow your lead.<br>

Warm regards, Cameron<br>
