[Webcom] sponsor logos

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Ian,
If you haven't done so already, I suggest it would be good to start 
building a webcom knowledge bank, probably a wiki, describing how to do 
any standard maintenance task required of webcom (such as adding a new 
sponsor).

We have done this for the OSGeo-Live project, and it has helped many 
times in helping new volunteers become effective quickly.

Cheers, Cameron
