I'm +1 for including GPlates on OSGeo-Live, assuming we can get it
to fit, and get it working.<br>
<br>
Based on responses below, the project looks to be stable and mature,
with a community behind it which would sustain the project.<br>
<br>
How do others within the OSGeo-Live community feel about including
GPlates?<br>
<br>
Warm regards, Cameron<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D"> Yes.
We have both Windows and Mac installers. However they
include sample data and hence are probaby too large (~ 100Mb
each). As with the Ubuntu .deb installer there is probably
the option to remove some of the sample data (see disk space
question above), but I'm guessing it's probably not enough
to be able to include Windows/Mac installers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
