[Ica-osgeo-labs] Website feedback

[Charles Schweik]

Hi Suchith, all:

Patrick Hogan made some helpful edits to the text I have on my lab's site
(thanks Patrick!), and I then edited it a little more toward some possible
useful language for the 'Why universities should join' text. I'm sure there
are other points to be made, but its a start. The text is attached.

Suchith, not sure who is leading the update to the GeoForAll page on this
topic...

Cheers
Charlie
