Folks,
Frank is perfectly right in saying that we might have wanted to have
people add a pointer in the OSGeo Wiki to their logo on their own
servers. On the other hand those pages also tend to wither and go away
(unless you are a solid rock like GDAL).

What to do?  Diversity wins. I will whip up a Wiki page and add a
pointer to both places, so jut do one of the two or both. Then we can
follow up in a year and see which way was better.

Regards, Arnulf.

Arnulf,

IMHO it would have been better to have a marketing wiki page that pointed
to where projects kept their logo.  The current approach means someone
from every project needs osgeo svn access, and the chances of their
remembering to update this copy of the logo if their logo changes is very
small.

Best regards,
