So currently projects that are just getting off the ground can ask
OSGeo for infrastructure (e.g. SVN, Trac, etc). Are you thinking we
should provide more than that? If so in what way? The thought of
"OSGeo Labs" is running around in my head at the moment, but I am
still trying to get my head around what that would look like. Maybe
just an index page of projects that are in the early stages of
development?

Bob,
OSGeo is, I think, somewhat unapproachable for infrastructure. If
you are brand new to OSGeo and this whole space, you would not
approach OSGeo for infrastructure because we don't advertise that it
is available - in fact, more the opposite, don't talk to us unless
you are a well established project.
Changing this is, perhaps, part of a potential solution.
Perhaps more important than infrastructure (there are many suitable
homes for new open source projects) is information about how to
launch a new project and a communications channel that can be used to
attract an initial community of users/developers - or at least feedback.
Cheers
Paul
