Hi Kevin,

That sounds great - anything that we can do to reduce any individual's 
workload as always a good thing.

As I mentioned before, I can think of 2 hosting options worth exploring:

i) postgresql.org
ii) osgeo.org

OSGeo would seem to be a good fit, however I seem to remember from 
previous discussions that anyone with an OSGeo account also has commit 
access to any project. Personally I don't believe this is a good thing, 
from either a spam or management point of view. Can anyone related to 
OSGeo confirm whether this is still the case or not?


ATB,

Mark.
