[Live-demo] Conditions to add a new project ?

Hello

> Here's the simple explanation:
> 1. You need to build a shell script (.sh) to install your application

> For examples see:
> http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin

I'm not familiar with shell script ... and within 2 weeks, I'll try.


> 2. You need to write some documentation for the project
> For examples see(this version may require slightly more than what's in

> http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/browser/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/descriptions

That should be find.

> More Details:
> Because we intend to release a new version approx every 6 months(every

> continue to upgrade and maintain their installation scripts that often.

Can't guarantee anything.

Never heard about them, sorry.

I will certainly be at the bottom of the list with such criteras...
That's not very enthousiastic, looks like the project doesn't have it's place on the dvd.
