<pre wrap="">Hi, We want to propose a new app for OsGeo-Live_DVD.
The application is 'i3Geo', a geoportal framework from Brasil; this software is well known in Brasil since 4 years at least, and have a community of several thousand users.

<br>
- What does the application do and how does it add value to the
GeoSpatial stack of software?<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><a name="result_box"></a> i3Geo allows
the creation of interactive maps on the Web and dissemination of
data through OGC services and download of data<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The user can modify the i3Geo
interface for your needs and add new features<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm"><span lang="en">Compared with other
similar software, the i3Geo offers end users a broader number of
tools: analysis, consultation and modification of the map</span>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;

<br>
- Does the application make use of OGC standards? Which versions
of the standards? Client or server? You may wish to add comments
about how standards are used.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">i3Geo organizes data in a catalog of
themes. The administrator can allow themes can be provided as a
OGC service or for be download<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">The web map server MapServer is used in
the generation of OGC services, so the OGC standard version of the
services provide depends on the installed version of MapServer
(can be up to 6.0.x)<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">The i3Geo uses, among others, the
OpenLayers library for interface control, allowing access OGC
services by that library or even through Mapserver too.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;

- What language is it written in?<br>
PHP, PHP-Mapscript and Javascript<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">Which version of the application should be
included in the next OSGeo-Live release?<br>
Version 4.6</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;

<br>
- Stability is very important to us on OSGeo-Live. If a new user
finds a bug in one application, it will tarnish the reputation of
all other OSGeo-Live applications as well. (We pay most attention
to the following answers):<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">If risk adverse organisations have
deployed your application into production, it would imply that
these organisations have verified the stability of your software.
Has the application been rolled out to production into risk
(ideally risk adverse) organisations? Please mention some of these
organisations?<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;

<br>
- What is the size of the user community? You can often answer
this by mentioning downloads, or describing a healthy, busy email
list?<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">The number of users currently enrolled
in the community i3Geo is upper 9,500 people. i3Geo is part of
Software Publico Brasil, official repository of the Brazil
Government and currently has one mailing list for user and
developers<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm">There is another international mailing
list for users hosted by gvSIG Association</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;

<br>
- What is the size of your developer community?<br>
Now two people makes administrative role of the code at full time.
But there are many users who work on partial time like
collaborators.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">
- Do you have a bug free, stable release?<br>
Yes. Version 4.6</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">
<br>
- Please discuss the level of testing that your project has gone
through.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">All features are tested in Firefox and
Internet Explorer before close of a release. In the test phase are
released beta versions for be testing by the user community<br>
After release of a version, the bugs are fixed and the solution
distributed in packages of services that can be simply copied to
the installation location of the user.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">
- How long has the project has had mature code.<br>
The software had a significant change in architecture in 2010.
This date can be consider the maturity date of the actual i3Geo,
however, the software was available as GPL in 2006 and joined the
Brazilian Public Software Portal in 2007. To be in Software
Publico Brazil, had to approved several require and be considered
a stable software. So you can consider i3Geo like a stable
software since 2007.<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">- OSGeo-Live is targeted at applications
that people can use rather than libraries. Does the application
have a user interface (possibly a command line interface) that a
user can interact with? (We do make an exception for Incubated
OSGeo Libraries, and will include Project Overviews for these
libraries, even if they don't have a user interface.)<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">Certainly , i3Geo has a graphical
interfaces by 'default', that can be used in Web browsers. Also
this interfaces can be personalized afterwards by the users.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; page-break-before: auto;
page-break-after: auto">
- With around 50 applications installed on OSGeo-Live, us core
packagers do not have the time to liaise with every single project
email list for each OSGeo-Live release. So we require a volunteer
(or two) to take responsibility for liaising between OSGeo-Live
and the project's communities. This volunteer will be responsible
for ensuring the install scripts and English documentation are
updated by someone for each OSGeo-Live release. Also test that the
installed application and Quickstart documentation works as
expected on release candidate releases of OSGeo-Live. Who will act
as the project's liaison person.<br>

coordination regarding this project related to OSGeo-Live and the
communities that form. As well as for documentation and updates
required for each future release. People that initially will be
responsible are: Edmar Moretti and Javier Rodrigo</p>

is:<br>
a. Install from UbuntuGIS or DebianGIS<br>
