[Incubator] Motion: GEOS to Graduate Incubation

[Cameron Shorter]

Frank,
Before we pass Geos through incubation, could you please point us at 
answers to the Incubation checklist:
Current version here:
http://www.osgeo.org/incubator/process/project_graduation_checklist.html

Although I think it would be better to make use of the new 2.0 version 
of the checklist which I think Jody is about to get approved.

Of note (from the new checklist), I think that Geos should be addressing 
the Marketing criteria from the new checklist, which would include 
creating a Project Overview for Geos:
