Hi Steven,
I see no problem with putting a "How to be a good OSGeo Citizen" in the
wiki, that could be a great way to evolve the document by drawing from
ideas of multiple people on this topic.
The reason for the "I'm not sure" in my previous email was mostly that I
feel that getting consensus in the community about making this a formal
statement of OSGeo could be complicated because there may be differing
views when we get on that kind of topics (encouraging return from users
vs letting the code be fully free of any expectations).
So my point was simply that I do agree with you on trying to encourage
users to return something for the long term viability of the software
they use, and short of getting consensus in the community to publish the
"perfect" statement which could be tough, if more articles like yours
are spread around then the message may be even stronger than a formal
statement from OSGeo and require less efforts.

If we get to a version that the community broadly supports can it go on
the OSGeo wiki? I thought anyone could (just about) could post on the
wiki and others can amend or even delete.
Does the appearance of something on the wiki mean that it is official
OSGeo policy? If so what is the process for making such policy, a board
vote?
I hope that my post gets enough feedback to indicate whether there is
community interest in the idea

I like your article too. Not sure if/how we could make this an
official OSGeo statement, but I'm definitely a big +1 on seeing more
blog articles like this!
