As I'm reviewing the OSGeo-Live overview contents [1], I think that we should be recategorising some of the projects. Here are my suggestions<br>
<br>
Rasdaman - Move from Databases to Web Services (I understand it is best described as a WCS)<br>
<br>
GDAL - Move from "Spatial Tools" to "Geospatial Libraries"<br>
<br>
OSSIM - Move from "Desktop" to "Spatial Tools"<br>
<br>
Geopublisher & AtlasStyler - Move from "Desktop" to a new "Prior OSGeoLive Projects" section<br>
<br>
Any objections or other suggestions?<br>

<div> Some thoughts:</div><div><br></div><div>1. "Browser Clients" doesn't seem a very informative or accurate description of the projects listed, several of which have server-side components. "Web Mapping and GIS" might be better. Or something else.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2. "Databases" might be better as "Spatial Data Storage and Management". I'd take pgRouting off that category.</div><div><br></div><div>3. I'd take everything after SAGA (ie OSSIM onwards) off the Desktop GIS category, so that this category is purely general purpose GIS packages. OSSIM, Geopublisher, AtlasStyler, osgEarth, and MB-System are not 'Desktop GIS' as understood by your average GIS person...</div>
<div><br></div><div>4. Create a new category of specialised ('vertical'?) applications, containing such as: zyGrib, OpenCPN, MB-System and possibly Ushahidi and Sahana Eden. </div><div><br></div><div>5. Put pgRouting and the remaining GPS-related packages into a Tracking and Routing category.</div>
<div><br></div><div>6. Think maybe a categorical index is a bit simplistic and maybe we should just tag everything instead.</div><div><br></div><div>7. Wonder why OSSIM and OTB are in different categories and think it's getting late I should just go to bed instead.</div>
