Getting people involved.

[Chris Holmes]

Ok, so I made a page on how to get started: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Getting_Started  Feel free to hack on 
it, I'm hoping it can help people who want to help out and don't know 
where.  The page right now isn't super helpful, it basically says join 
everything and figure it out.  It'd be nice if there were a clearer path 
to how to get involved, where to start on the wiki, how an idea can grow 
into a committee, ect.  If anyone has ideas on how to do that better 
then just modify that page.  We also probably should improve: 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Volunteers_Needed a good bit as well.

I also started a list for members to put up some information about 
themselves: http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/All_Members

If people think these pages are decent, I'd like to send an email to all 
the current voting membership, encouraging them to help out, pointing at 
the getting started page, and remembering them that we're all building 
this together, and it's an open process.  And getting them to add 
themselves to the member list.
