Re: [georss] Geospatial Incubator Group

I would like to think that we have captured this in the three  
incubator objectives:

1) Get GeoRSS into geo

2) Take first steps toward a broader geospatial Web ontology

3) Figure out a WG charter which can carry on 1) and 2).

So as long as we concentrate on getting 1) done, there is no reason  
not to start in on the 2) & 3)  discussions, which we should include  
on the public Geo XS list and I will start to try to capture in the  
wiki once it is set up.
