[Live-demo] Sextane Project Overview on OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Victor,
Are you still planning to write a Sextane Project Overview for OSGeo-Live?

If it is to make it into the 7.0 release (for foss4g 2013), then we will 
need a first draft for review within the next few days. Is this achievable?

If you have any questions, then please ask.
