Hello Darryl, Thanks for bringing up this resource on the list. If no one else has a better proposal, I'd like to offer the assistance of FACIL (http://facil.qc.ca) in managing this. I welcome any other members of this list to join me in this offer. FACIL is a non-profit based in Quebec province, doing advocacy for free open source software - these days we primarily focus on the government here in Quebec. I am sitting on the board as VP and we have a few competent admin resources, we have been reorganizing some of the hosting and content managament resources succesfully. We recently launched an internal ticket system and have access to free hosting via Koumbit.org. I also have access to other resources as a member of the Free Software Foundation but I believe the OSM project wiki combined with FACIL's guidance should be enough for anyone other contributors here to step in and add the missing glue. If nothing else, having FACIL own the domain and pay for it, and parking it until a formal project takes place would be logical for now. Going a bit further, I would at least redirect it to the OSM Canada wiki page [1], but that is up to you. Pending other discussions on this list, I am leaving that offer on the table. I have no urgency in adding another project to the many things I am involved in, but I can offer those resources now. I suppose some consensus will happen here.
