[Geomoose-users] Welcome to OSGeo incubation

[Jim Klassen]

This is also a place where OSGeo can help us.  Using the OSGeo trac instead of our own instance of trac allows us to take advantage of the common OSGeo logins.  Thus lowering the barrier to contributing (many people already have OSGeo logins) to the trac while still not allowing a free for all or forcing us to spend all our time managing user accounts and keeping track of who is real and who is a spam bot.

While it doesn't have real accountability or systematic feedback, it at least makes a list, is this a reasonably satisfactory start?  I would intend to include the "*" stating we are going to implement Trac once some of the coding issues clear.
