[geomoose-psc] quick website question, where to put geomoose as a technology?

[Jody Garnett]

Agreed Tanya, this is part of what I am working on tonight, double checking

On the plus side the SAC committee had a meeting and is taking steps to
host the website and let us all edit using our LDAP credentials :)
