[OSGeo-Discuss] Re: Public Geospatial Data Project Mission

[Helena Mitasova]

Markus

can you clarify the relation between the PGD committee
and PGD project? I am asking because there is the same issue
with the Curriculum project.
Are you suggesting to establish a committee for the project to get it  
moving?
(which is probably needed and any project would have a steering  
committee anyway).
Or is this separate from the project itself?
It is not clear what you mean by your last paragraph,

Helena
