Nice work Andrea, much appreciated since we know you are doing this in 
your volunteer time. A couple of comments:

8. Please describe any relationships with commercial companies or products.

It is probably worth mentioning all the companies which have 
historically made significant contributions to GeoServer. The only one 
not there that comes to mind is Refractions.

11. Origin of the project

As I know it, GeoServer came into existence because some folks from TOPP 
(Vision for New York at the time?) wanted to do traffic modeling based 
on open source software. To do this it became evident that more then 
just maps were going to be needed. The data behind the map was going to 
have to be made available.

Around the same time the OGC the released the WFS spec as an open 
standard. The goals seems to line up and TOPP felt that an open source 
implemntation of WFS would be something of value, and also promote 
organizations to make their data readily available helping with the 
traffic modeling problem.

Might not have it quite right but that is how I understand it. Chris 
will undoubtedly correct me :)
