[Live-demo] Re: GDAL on OSGeo-Live?

[Cameron Shorter]

Frank,
We are asking all projects to have their documentation and install scripts
in place for OSGeo-Live by 31 Jan (in 1 week) to allow translators to start
translating.

Can you, or one of your GDAL users please help us with creating of the GDAL
docs as per:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Documentation

(We have such docs for all other incubated OSGeo applications which can be
executed).
