[FOSS4G-Oceania] Pacific funding - blog post help?

[Cameron Shorter]

I can help, but am hoping for some more information to help make the 
story interesting. I've put the following questions in as comments into 
the article:

Why is the Regional Maritime Boundaries Project important to Australia? 
Or more, why is it so important that we think we should sponsor people 
from the project to talk about it.
Who built the system?
What agencies sponsored it?
Who maintains the system?
Can we say something stronger than Open Source is used? Is it used 
exclusively? Is it used predominantly?
Why was Open Source selected?
I assume you can say that Open Standards are being used throughout?
Is the data available under an open license?
Does using Open Source aid collaboration?
Can we get a quote from someone saying something positive about the 
system, and how open source is better than what they had before?
