Thanks everyone. Felicity and I have received scores responses, both 
publicly and privately. We've been pointed to a bunch of links to 
existing material, and received some really good suggestions.

Admittedly, I'm feeling a bit like we are drinking out of a fire-hose, 
as we think about how to process all the feedback, and the level of 
engagement that OSGeo can sustain.

More to come from us in the next few weeks ...
