Benjamin, Rufus, this sounds good.

I would totally give over the http://okfn.org/geo/ namespace, front page
etc to this if that is appropriate, as INSPIRE is the main reason that
this started in the first place. If this is something that deserves
its own DNS entry too, something a little more catchy perhaps than
"handsoffpublicdomaingeodata.org" then i would be happy to cough up
for one and point it there.  

moinmoin is a nice wiki, it worked well for Wsfii. Rufus, i think that
you have an interesting setup for hosting moins, whereby they all use
the same system installation, but have different styling+config. I
have no idea of the most kforge-nature way of spawning a new moin on
the OKFN system. A pointer to any normal-process docs, or scripts,
that should be followed, would be appreciated very much.
(there's a scattering of open geodata pages over the main OKFN wiki,
but i guess this would merit something that stands alone).

dear Rufus, just by being there, as a stable core around which stuff
circulates, you help an inordinate amount. this conversation wouldn't
be happening at all were it not for the support you have offered. 
thankyou.
