We need to agree on a name. Googleing "gooddocs" I found: <a href="https://www.gooddocs.net/" target="_blank">https://www.gooddocs.net/</a> . Are we ok with potential clash?

We should select a license that the material is created under. I think that we want a very permissive license for templates, so they can be used as widely as possible.

Simply so we have a feel for where our templates get used. I'm not wedded to this though.<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>5. We should agree on source location, email list, slack channel (Felicity has made a start here). </div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>How about hosting the website on GitHub- this works well (in my opinion- it's how we do <a href="http://uk.osgeo.org">http://uk.osgeo.org</a>). The downside is that you don't currently get https but no doubt that will be resolved. It does stop the burden and cost of administering and owning the hosting and makes it easy for multiple people to contribute to it. <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><br></div><div>And probably a few more things.</div><div><br></div><div>It is ~ 10 years since I set up a project from scratch, so while I understand the process, I'm a bit out of touch with the latest tools.
