[Live-demo] Sextane Project Overview on OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

Victor,
I see that the Quickstart you reference is making use of QGIS.
I note that we already have a QGIS quickstart, which mentions Sextante. 
I suggest that rather than create another quickstart, we should make use 
of the existing QGIS quickstart, which could be extended slightly to 
include one screen shot and a few more steps. (Note that we still want 
to keep the documentation concise, so that it is easy to maintain and 
test in future).

Victor,
Could you please also fill in an official application email to our list, 
to make sure that we have all details covered:
