[SAC] Motion: Provide SVN, Trac and Mailing List services for Fusion

Motion:
-------------------
I would like to motion that OSGeo/SAC provide the following services for the Fusion project, with Shawn Barnes taking care of the setup of the new services:
     * SVN
     * Trac
     * mailing lists: fusion-users and fusion-dev
-------------------

I'll start with my +1.

Once approved by SAC the request should be referred to the board for approval.

A ticket has already been created for this:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/171

More about Fusion:

Fusion is a new AJAX application development framework for MapGuide and MapServer?. It has been developed by DM Solutions and they have announced their intention to open source it at FOSS4G2006 (MIT/X11 license).

A snapshot of Fusion is already available as part of the MapGuide Open Source project, however, we believe that those SVN, Trac and Mailing list services from OSGeo would be really helpful for Fusion to become a real open source project and build up a community of users and developers around it. Once Fusion has built up a community and matured a bit it will likely apply for OSGeo incubation, but it's not there yet.
