[Incubator] motion: accept loader as community project

Tue Feb 12 17:48:14 PST 2019

I have published the page here
https://www.osgeo.org/projects/loader-project/

(I could not call the page "loader" as it ended up causing some conflicts
with the theme css which had its own idea on making anything called
"loader" 100 px wide!)
