I've just noticed MB-System in the online docs. Under Desktop GIS.
Did
that just appear?
I think some of the stuff in Desktop GIS should probably go
elsewhere
- maybe Geopublisher and Atlas Styler should go into the Nav+Maps
section, and we keep the Desktop GIS section as really only those
programs that have general desktop GIS functionality (Qgis, gvSIG
et
al). I don't think OSSIM should be there either - there's no
Quickstart doc and maybe it should go in the Geospatial Libraries
section - which applications on the disk actually use it?

I'll be interested to hear directly from project owners on this.<br>

Is it worth re-ordering the presentation to exactly match the order in
the online documentation?
</pre>
</blockquote>
<pre wrap="">
Probably not.
I developed the order of the original presentation such that it was easy to
segway from one application to the next. I am however open to suggestions on
how you would prefer to order the presentation if you have specific ideas.

I might have a good think about it in the light of whatever comments
people have on my comments above...
Also, I put the notes that were in the text file into the 'Notes'
section of the OpenOffice presentation with some additions and minor
edits. I'll often do a presentation with this view of the deck on my
phone so I can see the slide+notes.</pre>

To date, I've requested that notes are not included in the
OpenOffice files.<br>
Reason is that .odp files seem to be stored in a binary format, and
minor tweaks in text are difficult to track in subversion, which
makes it particularly difficult for translators wanting to know what
needs updating between versions.<br>
<br>
Hence all words are stored in the text file:<br>
<a
href="https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/promo/trunk/en/presentation/osgeolive_taster_script.txt">osgeolive_taster_script.txt</a><br>

Its possible to extract the text back if really needed by exporting
to HTML or something. It also lets you do HTML image+text versions of
the presentation, such as:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Teaching/UseR2012/introductionTalk.html">http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Teaching/UseR2012/introductionTalk.html</a>
with a bit of scripted reformatting.

Sounds useful. Any suggestions on how we can get the above, but
still track changes easily in subversion?<br>
