[SAC] Motion to provide Trac/SVN/Mailman services to GeoPrisma

[Daniel Morissette]

I hereby motion for OSGeo to provide Trac, SVN and Mailman services for 
the GeoPrisma project, with Alan Boudreault as primary admin for the 
setup and support of the services.

... and I start with my +1

More about GeoPrisma:

GeoPrisma is an access control layer that sits between client Web 
Mapping applications based on MapFish/GeoExt/OpenLayers and standard 
services running on the server (WMS, WFS, FeatureServer, TileCache, 
etc). The actual implementation is a proxy server that validates all 
service requests against an Access Control List, and also builds/adapts 
the user interface to match the privileges of the user currently viewing 
the application.

The project is currently developed in collaboration between Mapgears, 
Boreal-IS and Nippour Geomatik and has been deployed at several client 
sites already. The release of GeoPrisma under an Open Source (BSD) 
licence will be announced at FOSS4G next week as part of our 
presentation about the project: 
http://2009.foss4g.org/presentations/#presentation_146

Since the project provides the glue for access control between several 
OSGeo components, we believe it is a good fit to be hosted at OSGeo, and 
we also plan on applying for incubation once the project has taken off 
and gained some momentum.

There is no public site for the project yet (we plan on opening up 
http://www.geoprisma.org/ after the announcement), but a demo and more 
information is available at http://dev4g.mapgears.com/geoprisma/demo/

Ticket #490 has already been created about this:
