[Live-demo] App Dependencies [was Nightly doc builds back online; further action on doc licenses needed]

[Alex Mandel]

Bob,

That's why we have the feature freeze deadline, It's the date and which
application versions are supposed to be set so we have time to deal with
things that may relate. We could add a field to the ongoing spreadsheet
where we track what versions are on the disc(yes ideally in the future
this would be some type of CMS website). This is yet another reason why
we are encouraging everyone to creating deb packages for their project
too - automatic dependency handling.

Thanks,
Alex
