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

[Angelos Tzotsos]

I agree with Alex and Brian.

The decision is not yet final. Consider this a review process that leads 
to including the software in the Live.
Many other projects have remained in beta for 1 version of the DVD in 
order to improve such details and then were included without any issues. 
So don't get disappointed about this process.
Personally, I would like to test the QuickStart in full extent to make a 
decision. I would like to see the new user experience first.

Cheers,
Angelos
