Quesiton is whether we really wnat that? Is it something that VisCom is
really hyped about, is it an issue for WebCom to do it? If anybody would
consent to actually doing I would suggest that it is a good idea.

I do think that a "Linking to Us" section would be a great idea.
I personally don't like the idea of asking them to link to our site,
though I don't see a problem in letting them know that they are free to
do so.
It adds to our load (OK, marginally), and it means that we are taking
responsibility for not breaking other peoples' sites by changing the
image location, site maintenance, etc. I would prefer to encourage them
to download the images.

Jason,
Did you build overviews? If not run img2rr <myimages> to generate them. Without overviews only the full rez representation is shown and only when you get down on the deck.

Folks,
I agree with Jason that asking people to link to our copy of logos is
not a great idea - mainly because we don't have a great history
of providing stable urls.
Best regards,

For those who want to link: the current version:
http://www.osgeo.org/files/logos/OSGeo_small_150wide.png
does not work with transparency in IE and looks grey.
