Hi Guido,

thanks for pointing to the mail entry.

As already mentioned in my reply to Jody, OSGeo4W may be ready as it exists about 10 \
years now.

Hey Helmut,
 
I have been following along with all the emails about the new website with great \
excitement. I am very proud of the work the Marketing committee did in getting this \
site up and on messaging with the community about the processes.  
I believe that there were emails sent around about project sites a couple of times \
over the last year, but here is the latest one I could find:  
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/incomplete-project-pages-tp5349455.html
 
I think you should be able to add the project when you are ready.
 
I hope this helps,
 
Guido

as we've seen in the Google Code‑in contest and students' feedback, MS windows is \
still an important operating system within the user base of the OSGeo stack.

Beside the windows standalone installers of e.g. QGIS or winGRASS (both are based \
upon OSGeo4W), the OSGeo4W framework itself is a very important platform to deliver \
the OSGeo stack to the users of this operating system.

As an example, when I'm helping winGRASS users on the GRASS user ML, I'm often \
refering to use OSGeo4W-winGRASS in order to check if the issue/problem is also \
there.

Furthermore, OSGeo4W is also an important testing platform as it's possible to \
use/test the latest greatest dailys of e.g. QGIS3 or GRASS7.4svn on the windows \
operating system.

Another example, University of Vienna deploys OSGeo4W to all its public students PCs.

Searching [1] and screening the new website, there seems to be no information \
about/no link to OSGeo4W [2].

Is this intentional? Just overseen?

OSGeo will loose new and interested users of the OSGeo software stack when no one can \
find the nice framework for the still most used operating system.

Kind regards
Helmut
