Done

Okay, will remove it.

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 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.

 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:

with a bit of scripted reformatting.
