[OSGeo-Standards] [Incubator] Fwd: TEAM Engine and CITE infrastructure [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

While I'm very supportive of CITE testing, and would love to see the 
CITE project pass through OSGeo incubation, I don't see OSGeo as geared 
to provide the hosting support that OGC is asking for.
In particular, hosting infrastructure requires both hardware, but more 
importantly, people to maintain the infrastructure. If the CITE project 
is not able to attract volunteers, I would not expect OSGeo to be able 
to attract them either.

I refer back to our OSGeo Priorities:
