 ; Has a Project Steering Committee been formed, and given control of the project?
-: The project steering committee has been selected, and [http://www.gdal.org/rfc1_pmc.html RFC1] governing it's operation has been adopted, but it has not been assigned control of the project yet.  The members are Frank Warmerdam (chair), Andrey Kiselev, Daniel Morissette and Howard Butler.  The PSC is expected to "take control" after the GDAL 1.3.2 release is completed.

 ; Does the Project Steering Committee have documentation on project procedures for PSC decisions, contributor guidelines, etc.
-: An [http://www.gdal.org/rfc1_pmc.html RFC] defining the role of the PSC has been written and adopted.  No other guidelines have been prepared.

 ; Has the projectname.osgeo.org domain been populated with the projects we presence?
-: Yes, but the pages are generated from Doxygen and there isn't yet an automated process in place to update them regularly.  Some aspects of left side toolbar are inappropriate (wrong bug and mailinglist pointers).
+: www.gdal.org and gdal.osgeo.org domains both work and are hosted on a telascience blade (also download.osgeo.org).  www.gdal.org is still the primary url for the project.
 ; Is the OSGeo bug tracker being used for the project?
-: No.  GDAL has a great wealth of history in it's existing Bugzilla instance, and this would be nearly impossible to move.  Sticking with existing Bugzilla instance for the time being.
+: Yes.  GDAL is using http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal.
 ; Is the OSGeo mailing list manager being used for the project?
-: No.  It is anticipated that new gdal-announce and gdal-users mailing lists may be started on the foundation mailing list manager in the near future but this is pending discussion on gdal-dev.  I have no plans to move gdal-dev at this time as it would be hard to bring along archives and user options.  This may be revisited in the future.
+: The gdal-dev list remains hosted at maptools.org to avoid disruption.  The new gdal-announce and gdal-commits lists are hosted on http://lists.osgeo.org
 ; Is the OSGeo SVN or CVS system being used for the project?
-: No, not yet, but a transition is planned after the GDAL 1.3.2 release to CN SVN.
+: Yes, OSGeo subversion is being used.
 ; Are binary and source downloads available from the OSGeo download area?
-: Source, documentation and test suite files are available in the OSGeo download area.  Binaries are not currently available there (normally GDAL points people to FWTools).
+: Source, documentation and test suite files are available in the OSGeo download area (http://download.osgeo.org/gdal/).  Only limited binaries are available there.  Currently the GDAL project only supplies binaries for win32.  Other efforts, like FWTools and FGS provide binaries for other platforms.
