[Incubator] GeoMoose recomendation

I've quickly looked over docs. I think GeoMoose is getting close, but is 
not quite at incubation yet.

The following page needs updating to point to Provenance Review page:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GeoMoose_Incubation_Status#Code_Copyright_Review

I'd also like to see "Commiter Responsibilities Guidelines" embedded 
into a "Software Developers Guide" or similar. I'm afraid the link to 
meeting minutes doesn't constitute guidelines.

I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the incubation meeting. It is a 
difficult timeslot for me.
