[Live-demo] i3geo on OSGeo-Live 6.5?

[Alex Mandel]

Edmar,

The decision is not final. We wanted to discuss it more with your
community and help create a roadmap for how to get i3geo onto OSGeo
live. The worst case scenario is that we include the install script and
docs so users can trigger a web download to install it themselves.

I'm of the opinion that we should include software that works. If your
software works as intended and is use by a large number of people, then
we just need to get you some help translating so that users who don't
speak Portuguese can use it.

Please let us know how we might be able to help reach these goals.

Thanks,
Alex
