Works for me. Looking through the questionaire the only ones that we 
might not have an immediate answer for:

9. Which open source license(s) will the source code be released under

I mention it because their has been recent talk about modifying our 
licensing a bit. We might want to get that story straight before we 
submit, to avoid having to change the license while we are in or after 
incubation.

13. Is the code free of patents, trademarks, and do you control the 
copyright?

Do we officially control the copyright? Or are contributor agreements 
still coming in? On a related note the question of who should retain 
copyright has been raised by Jody. Should it be TOPP or OSGEO? 
Personally I would feel more comfortable asking contributors to give up 
copyright on their code to the foundation of which the project is a part 
of, rather than a single company. How do others feel about this?

18. If you do not intend to host any portion of this project using the 
OSGeo infrastructure, why should you be considered a member project of 
the OSGeo Foundation?

Do we want to make use of any osgeo infrastructure? Or are we happy with 
what we have now? If anything I might think the mailing list? I would be 
ok with svn except I don't like how the commits mailing list is set up 
and can't figure out who made a commit without opening the full email.
