Wiki wonders:

This page should be updated to reflect the adopted membership rules. Volunteers?

I would like to see a different "logo button tag line" for incubated and graduated projects. It is a symbolic and thus meaningful thing to edit the logo and see it appear on the web site once your project is graduated. In my opinion it is part of what OSGeo gives to projects.
