[fdo-internals] FDO Incubation Progress Reports

[Robert Bray]

We don't have any non-developer consumers of FDO on this PSC, so if 
Jason is volunteering then I'll be happy to nominate him. He has been a 
huge positive influence on the MapGuide PSC and a strong advocate of the 
MapGuide/FDO technology since day 1.
