<p>While I stand by my original statement, I acknowledge the
logistical challenge of categorising OSGeoLive within the new
OSGeo site (as mentioned by Alex), and also respect what Jody is
trying to achieve with defining suitable categorisation.</p>
<p>I also feel that the issue is small enough that we need not waste
a significant amount of time debating it. I.e. I'd suggest we
leave OSGeoLive categorised as a community project for the moment,
and hurry up and prioritise pushing OSGeoLive through incubation.
(Any volunteers interested in stepping up? We need help building a
list of our software list, and confirming that it has an open
license - I'm pretty sure this is the case.</p>

</span>That seems to be the tag, that all other projects who
have applied for<br>
incubation are under. I guess it's less clear on the new
site which<br>
things are applying to become "Projects" and which are not,
as some of<br>
the community projects have not applied for incubation.<br>
<br>
Cameron, where do you suggest OSGeo Live gets listed
instead? It was<br>
added to community because it wasn't listed in either of the
categories<br>
and therefore isn't shown on the navigation menus, so people
may never<br>
find it...<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Alex<br>
