In some ways little would change and it is possible that it will broadly be the same group of people posting. It would be great if we could retain all the 'goodness' from OGD. I am relaxed about OGD being transferred to the project and having a moderation policy for contributors that is similar to IOTW rather than creating a new one but that is Steve's shout. If he was willing to offer OGD to the community then that would be great and very generous. If he wants to keep it separate then we would need to ensure that there were people to write for the new one.
