[Talk-us] US OMSF proposal mission statement v2

[Chris Hunter]

Guess I'll go ahead and toss out the first ideas on this one too.  I'll let
someone else write the wiki this time around, but here's my list of
potential spending priorities:

1 - Legal / Licensing (especially data acquisition @ the state and county
government level)
2 - Mapping Party support (getting equipment checkout set up)
3 - User Education & Outreach - (getting local hiking/biking/geocaching
clubs involved)
4 - Media outreach (Newspapers & TV stations love to have "human interest"
stories like this in reserve for slow news days.  Take a look at the
geocaching.com weekly newsletter - they have a canned article that gets
printed in one form or another several times a week.)
5 - Software development

OK, time to retreat to the bunker and watch the fireworks start,
Chris
