It's a good looking PDF! Congrats to Jody and yourself.

comments:

- Say something about maturity if possible, but the star rating must go.
It can not be done without insulting people and offers little benefit.

Actually I've got a hard time seeing how a description of maturity can
be assessed at all without needlessly spreading bad feelings or
confusion. Even if it is a self-assessment from the project.
however:

- add graphic in top right for osgeo projects & projects in incubation
   http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/marketing/logo/png24/125/

also,
- OGC standards etc are not relevant to a number of projects so will
  only appear for some. we ship a diverse set of software, c'est la vie.

- how is the rst -> html looking like?

- the colours are a bit whack, but check out the structure of the
  package summaries at:

(fwiw, not everyone is active over the weekend so monday morning
deadlines on requests for comments, announced fri PM, are to be
avoided if at all possible)
