[Live-demo] Localized LiveDVD

[Astrid Emde]

Hi,

it would be great if we could provide the LiveDVD in different languages.
We plan to take the LiveDVD to the Intergeo which is a big fair but mostly
with german speaking visitors. It won't work out to get a german version
for 2010, but maybe we can provide it for next year.

Maybe most documents could be translated from people from the projects
themselves (this would be possible at least for german). For german
translations I also can ask people from the FOSSGIS e.V. (german speaking
local chapter of the OSGeo).

I agree with the data structure Jody suggested.
