[SoC] Re: [Marketing] GSoC 2008 Flyer

[Wolf Bergenheim]

Chris,

Thanks for the input. I've now modified the page to suit (well for the 
projects I'm familiar with). I hope that other mentors will do the same 
for their projects.

Oh I fiddled around with the pages. The ideas page is now at:

http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2008_Ideas

The url makes more sense, don't you think?
