Agreed on it being a hassle.

However the OSGeo foundation also has a responsibility to users - who *really* 
want to see a feature list and to be able to compare projects. The foundation 
can take steps to help projects communicate - and this is the task/mandate of 
the marketing committee.

Competition and Collaboration are both key.

I am also happy to see the marketing committee engaging with projects directly; 
I hope they also have some volunteer hours for writing and are not expecting 
developers to step away from their core responsibility to the codebase.
