 We have started working on a new project called GeoPrisma that we plan on
 releasing under an open source license in the coming weeks (quite likely
 at FOSS4G, but that remains to be confirmed), and we would like to host
 SVN, Trac and Lists for this project at OSGeo. As per SAC policy, we would
 need one of the admins to volunteer to do the setup for us.

 GeoPrisma is an access control layer that sits between client Web Mapping
 applications based on MapFish/GeoExt/OpenLayers and standard services
 running on the server (WMS, WFS, FeatureServer, TileCache, etc). The
 actual implementation is a proxy server that validates all service
 requests against an Access Control List, and also builds/adapts the user
 interface to match the privileges of the user currently viewing the
 application. The project is currently developed in collaboration between
 Mapgears, Boreal-IS and Nippour Geomatik and has been deployed at several
 client sites already.

 Since the project provides the glue for access control between several
 OSGeo components, we believe it is a good fit to be hosted at OSGeo, and
 we also plan on applying for incubation once the project has taken off and
 gained some momentum.

 There is no public site for the project yet (we use geoprisma.org for
 development internally at the moment), but a demo and more information is
 available at http://dev4g.mapgears.com/geoprisma/demo/
