[geomoose-psc] quick website question, where to put geomoose as a technology?

[TC Haddad]

I notice that there is nothing listed under Client:

Home <http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/> » Choose a project
<http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/choose-a-project/> » Information Technology
<http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/choose-a-project/information-technology/> »
Client
<http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/choose-a-project/information-technology/client/>
Would it make sense to go there?

Personally, for the purposes of the OSGeo website (targeted at new users
wanting to convert to FOSS) would call GeoMoose a "Configurable Map
Viewer", which to me means it is essentially an easy to set up client. The
advanced features mentioned by Jim and Bob are also great, but are a bonus
for most users seeking to fulfill the first use case.

Projects that fit under "Portal" in my mind would be things like GeoNetwork
and GeoNode, but maybe I am being to limited in my thinking?
