[Incubator] OSSIM Incubation Status

[Mark Lucas]

Cameron,

Thanks for taking the time to review and providing the specific  
comments.  I've made a pass to incorporate the changes that you have  
suggested.  I'll spend some more time cross linking and making  
additions along these lines throughout the rest of the day.

Mark

Will begin making another pass through it seeing where I can improve  
things.  Please point me to any specific areas that you would like to
