Folks, I was thinking about promoting new projects and one thing that came to mind that might be helpful is doing a "Project Spotlight" on new projects. We could do it in a form somewhat similar to the Spotlights we used to do for people (but have lapsed, leaving Tom on the front page forever!). These spotlights would be on the OSGeo front page briefly, could be sent out to discuss (and perhaps announce), and could likely be included in the OSGeo Journal.
The spotlights could be done in a question/answer interview style that would make it easy for folks to get a sense of what the project is about, it's status, and where it might fit in with other projects. The interviewer/editor could help ensure an appropriate level of detail and some consistency between spotlights. *But* to make this work, we would need one or more "project spotlight" interviewer/editors. Does anyone think this would be a useful idea, and/or be interested in helping make it work?
