In a WFS-T - what a question. :-) We need to get a machine that is fast
fast fast has bandwidth to spare and is fully sponsored. Then it takes us
one day to throw the whole SDI stack on it and get the list running as it
would be worth for an os*GEO* Foundation. Something like the GRASS,
Mapbender, or PostgreSQL user maps that has been sent around. Open it to
members (later when we have conneted permissions with CN to ever member,
sponsor and friend).

Those voting members who don't enter their lan/lots within one week after
publishing are expelled from the community for imcompetent/lazyness or
something like that. I'd believe that way we will get the coords asap. :-)
Beyond that I think that every memeber should take care of their OSGeo
v-card themselves, if they don't we kick them to do it. That way nobody
needs to look after it and we have a list that reflects how intesely
people take care of what happens in OSGeo. Quality Assourance made Open.

Secretary does nothing but kick people. We got enough serious stuff to do
for him. Just thinking aloud.
