[Live-demo] Re-categorising OSGeo-Live projects

[Peter Baumann]

Cameron-

re rasdaman, it is a DBMS indeed, in the same category as PostGIS. For example, 
rasdaman comes with a multi-dimensional spatio-temporal query language; in terms 
of OGC standards, WCS is just one rather limited functionality, there's also 
WMS, WCPS, and WPS.

Generally, the cagetorization seems to merge quite different levels (adding 
comments):

Browser Clients
Crisis Management -- this is a special application; do we have more of those? or 
should it be merged into services?
Databases -- should be: Database Systems
Desktop GIS
Navigation and Maps -- contains a weather service; should that go under Web 
services?
Spatial Tools
Web Services
Data
Geospatial Libraries
Other software of interest (not available Live)
Windows and Apple Installers -- all links broken; is that really something to 
keep here?

my 2 cents,
Peter
