[Geodata] Data migration

[Chris Holmes]

Do we have instructions anywhere on how to set up datasets on bit 
torrent?  And how to register on geodata.org?  I'd like to get my tiger 
data dump up on there.  I'm happy to do the metadata as well.

Frank, if you take a first shot at making a rough wiki of instructions 
I'm happy to clean it up as I figure out how to get mine up.
