Right. How would you distinguish these?

Gary,

This suggests to me that we should push forward moving the wiki properly
into the osgeo.org domain rather than discouraging it's use.  Though
doing so does, I think, mean we have to be more careful about
distinguishing what is a foundation position vs. the idle musings of one
or two individuals.

Best regards,
