Great, I look forward to it.
I've updated the status spreadsheet with the 1.9stable version for 3.0

Yes, I think that the gvsigmobile would definitely be of interest to 
people. As you mention, it fills a whole in the OSGeo stack of software.

For the core LiveDVD, we would only be looking for a stable bundle, 
however, I think we should also consider having harder to find "beta" 
software on the DVD too.

Maybe instead of finding the software on the desktop, and in the pull 
down lists under:
/root/gis/gvsig

it is found under:
/root/gis/bleedingEdge/gvsigMobile

I suggest write an installer for gvsigMobile, and we will find a place 
to put it.

Yes, this is a group decision, and we will probably go with the 
recommendation of the gvsigMobile team with regards to what is put on 
the DVD.

My suggestion is that we do install an application in the same form that 
it is available on a windows platform (without linux improvements), as 
this is how most people will get to view it if they install it on their 
applications.
