[Marketing] Question on Questions and a Question

[Cameron Shorter]

If we decide to answer questions publicly (which I think we should), 
then I also suggest that we encourage vendors to send questions to this 
public marketing email list.

Re question about breaking project up, I'd suggest we aim to minimise 
OSGeo volunteer workload and risk by encouraging bidders to team up 
under one prime rather than put in multiple bids for multiple components.

Adding a wiki with questions and official responses is probably a good 
idea too.
