There have been a few emails floating back and forth about which Natural
Earth layers should be included on the OSGeo-Live DVD, which I'm hoping
will now come on list as I feel the Natural Earth dataset has the
potential to benefit most applications installed on OSGeo-Live.
The NaturalEarth project provide free world base maps at various
resolutions and in various formats.
What I'd like to know is which of these layers we should be including on
OSGeo-Live (noting that we are space limited and won't be able to
include them all).
Ideally, we should provide a representative range of datasets which can
be used to demonstrate all our applications. I assume this should include:
* A point layer
* A line layer
* A polygon layer
* A raster layer
I expect there will be other requirements that people will want from the
data. What are they?
Nathaniel, (from the NaturalEarth community),
Would you mind sharing your thoughts on which datasets you think we
should include and why.
