We don't have to be so restrictive, osgeo4 has space but is a little bit
of work to grow.

We have much more space on osgeo6, and room to grow there, it's also SSD
drives, so faster. I think we bought 3x480GB in RAID5 if I recall, and 3
empty slots. Maybe we should fill those other slots this year. That's
why I would like to move the qgis downloads/docs there.

Even osgeo3 with download we'd been looking to grow, the project was
never finalized (osuosl was going to give us access to their big
http/ftp system). If someone has time to finish working that out, I'm
happy to pass that job to them.

Thanks,
