[Live-demo] Re: we are running out of time to have libLAS on OSGeo-Live?

[Cameron Shorter]

Howard,
We have some hard deadlines which we are getting very close to related 
to getting libLAS on OSGeo-Live.
We need a Quickstart ASAP. As mentioned earlier, this can be based upon 
your doc at http://liblas.org/start.html.
Also, we need an image in your Project Overview, as per my comments, and 
ideally action my other comments.
Without either of these very soon, we will need to hold back libLAS 
until the next release.
(I'm also happy for someone else to address these issues).

. Cameron Comment: Please include a suitable graphic. In this case, 
probably a pretty picture of LiDAR data over a coverage? Maybe something 
like this: http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/911/images/lg-map-lidar1.jpg . 
Make sure you have rights to publish the image.

.. Cameron Comment: Note that many (most?) readers won't know what 
LIDAR, or ASPRS LAS is. They also might not be connected to the 
internet, so won't be able to follow links you provide. Hence, please 
add a sentence or two here explaining what they are and why you would 
use it.

.. Cameron Comment: Will need to link to Quickstart on OSGeo-Live once 
it is written.
