We need someone to officially apply to join the OSGeo-Live project, by 
sending an email addressing our standard questions, as per:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Apply

We need someone to write an install_jst.sh script as per:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Install_Script

The Application Overview needs to cover JTS's desktop application.

Ideally, someone will find or create a logo for JTS

Someone needs to write a Quickstart as per:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Application_Quick_Start

> (ii) what is the timelime?

Schedule for the next OSGeo-Live release is currently being discussed. 
If we follow the same schedule as last year, it will be something like:

feature freeze ~ early January 2013
all apps delivered to UAT ~ early February 2013
final ISO ~ early March 2013
