[Lexicon] Motion: Set up a glossaries repository within The Good Docs Project

[Reese Plews (ISO/TC211 - TMG)]

hello Cameron,

i dont have email access to "thegooddocsproject at groups.io" but i will 
keep it in the reply chain. i really dont have any insight into the 
workings or goals of the good docs project yet, so my comments are from 
the stand point of the osgeo lexicon group.

from the three meetings i participated in last week i think the 
discussions were very constructive and are heading in the right 
direction.

i my opinion, i dont see the reason why a motion would be needed on this 
type of issue, as it seems very early in the process to decide if one 
technology or site is better than another. also, making a check to 
create the repo in github or google docs or elsewhere should probably 
not require any motion, in my opinion. unless there are specific rules 
in osgeo to table these motions for such decisions, but it seems a too 
early.

also, in my opinion, i would rather put an emphasis that the discussions 
and planning continue, until the october milestone, to work out this, 
and other issues before any motions are needed.  i believe there are a 
still a number of initial plans to clarify such as the relationships of 
the two groups (gooddocsproj and osgeo lexicon), scope, goals, group 
working vocabulary, and other issues, such as the tools/sites the groups 
that will be use to make this happen.

based on these opinions, i vote -0
