It is great. I would also like to help out so if you can get me access to that box I would like to lend a helping hand with documentation. As for theme/branding I don't think we have to go too crazy. A very simple plain theme is what I had in mind, something with the gt logo and osgeo logo would do it for me, with a color theme compatible with opengeo. I was actually planning to get Rollie's opinion about that since that is forte. About our logo, any objections to spicing it up a bit? Maybe sticking with the same compass idea if people have identified with it. > > All in all the technical support from the osgeo foundation has been > excellent here; while I would like more leadership on the branding etc > this is probably a case where we will need to go out in front. > > Jody > PS.
