I totally agree, that this osgeo<br>
community program would be an easier way to start with.<br>
<br>
I just flicked through your presentation and I really like to start with<br>
the creation of the project page. Since we already conform with osgeo in<br>
terms of LICENSE/CONTRIBUTING I should ask for the "project author"<br>
role. Just tested the login, works. My user name is "kmuehlbauer".<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
