OSGeo can also provide many of these resources, which could be valuable
from a 'branding' point of view, that it'd be a part of the global OSGeo
project.  We'd just require a bit of a more formal process to make sure
that it's a vital community that would make use of the resources, since
we do not want a bunch of dead projects.
