I'd like to add one very concrete item: the wiki pages.We have now four 
pages if I'm correct. Let's go through them and discuss the contents. 
For example, main page 
http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Education_and_Curriculum_Committee I 
think it should start with the mission and the names list should be 
somewhere else. Then, do we agree on the mission? etc. etc. We could 
also edit as we go.

By the way, the more static agreed on things should then be moved (not 
copied) to https://edu.osgeo.org/?
