[Incubator] CN and project scripts

[Daniel Brookshier]

Sorry, anything like that needs to be done on a separate server.  
CollabNet can and does support servers to do this sort of thing, but  
it would need to be under a separate agreement that is unrelated to  
the current contract. We can however help to make that server a sub  
domain of osgeo.org. This would allow you to use any server. This is  
how the wiki is currently loosely integrated.
