We could ask the OSGeo live project what procedure they use, at the

fill in a google form so we would have content to try out the website
with.
There is a very clear distinguishing of OSGeo projects on the website:
a) Sort order is OSGeo projects > OSGeo Community > Other
b) Only OSGeo projects are available from the menu directly,
c) When listed OSGeo Projects, and OSGeo Community projects are badged
with the appropriate logo
When I use the link http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/ directly, I
am seeing the page with all projects, with projects in what seems to be
random order (and with some of the OSGEO projects, like GRASS, on the
last page). Only when I click on 'projects' in the menu am I presented
with the projects grouped in Osgeo projects, osgeo community, others.
Wouldn't it be preferable to use that page as landing page when using
the link http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/projects/ directly?
This is going to be an interesting week collecting feedback when lots
of the website is not working as designed quite yet (examples tagging
and sorting). To be fair the vast majority of project descriptions
were entered last weekend so this is our first chance to try things
out with actual content :)

I'm following the new website and branding process a little bit by
the mailing lists.
is there anywhere a documented discussion or a documented and
approved decision about how the project selection to be listed on
the OSGeo website is done? I can't find anyone.
To be inclusive is one side; not to distinguish OSGeo projects
from other software projects from other initatives (e.g.
locationtech) or GIS vendors without any supplement words in the
OSGeo website, I'm feeling unconformable with it.
Kind regards
