<div>I agree that we need a name for the "DocTemplates"
project, and then we can create a landing page as
<name>.<a href="http://github.org" target="_blank">github.org</a> . We probably want
to take a few weeks to discuss and find the perfect name.</div>
<div>In the meantime, I suggest we continue using the OSGeo

<div>I think it looks good. My only query is around the
stipend statement - I think it's muddying the water
here. </div>
<div>My understanding of the stipend is that writers can
choose to either opt-in (or out) when they submit
their proposal - and will get paid upon successful
completion of their project work.</div>

<div>It also makes me think that we need a hyperlink
that isn't embedded in the OSGeo ecosystem. So
perhaps we create some kind of lite landing page
first before we spruik - to give folks a place to
register interest. Yes/No?</div>

<div>Also, if I have understood correctly about what
we're trying to do...we're gonna need a <b>name </b>for
