Nice, yeah, I would definitely recommend sphinx for a doc tool. It is 
great. I would also like to help out so if you can get me access to that 
box I would like to lend a helping hand with documentation.

As for theme/branding I don't think we have to go too crazy. A very 
simple plain theme is what I had in mind, something with the gt logo and 
osgeo logo would do it for me, with a color theme compatible with 
opengeo. I was actually planning to get Rollie's opinion about that 
since that is forte.

About our logo, any objections to spicing it up a bit? Maybe sticking 
with the same compass idea if people have identified with it.
