Hi Cameron,

I’m happy to let you know the site is somewhat live (the design, not yet):
https://osgeodev.geolexica.org

The first term there is your do-ocracy:
https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/concepts/10/

The repo is located at:
https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org

I’ve added some contribution instructions here, certainly they can be
improved:
https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org#contributing

The deployment is automated. If you can provide your (and/or your team's)
GitHub handle(s) I can add you to the group for direct access, especially
for the addition of terms.

Hope this helps!

Ron
