[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Presence On Wikipedia

[Landon Blake]

Thanks Lester. I'll move forward with my original plan for maintenance
and creation of Wikipedia entries at Wikinfo instead. Others can join my
personal efforts if they are interested.

A quick scan of Wikinfo would seem to indicate that it intends filling
the 
gaps that wikipedia has forcefully created. But I think it needs a lot
more 
input yet - there are lots of red links in the sections I went through
:)

Thanks for the link - it looks like it will solve my other problems as
well!
