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

[Cameron Shorter]

Victor,
I'm expanding this email thread to include the OSGeo-Live list, as I 
expect there will be others with suggestions.

I suspect that Sextane would be considered a Library like Geotools, and 
as such it might be best to just write up a Project Overview, and not 
write up a Quickstart. I'll be interested to hear other thoughts on this.
