[Seth G]

Hi all,

The page at https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Disc_Apply  has a list of questions with regards to adding a new project to OSGeoLive. Some aren't applicable as GeoExt is a JS library, but other details are below. 

The docs are at https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/448
The OSGeoLive install script is at https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive/pull/257

What is its name? 
GeoExt

What does the application do and how does it add value to the GeoSpatial stack of software?

GeoExt is a JavaScript library for building rich geospatial applications that was first started in 2009. A good summary of the project can be found in the FOSS4G 2015 presentation at http://marcjansen.github.io/foss4g-2015/Towards-GeoExt-3-Supporting-both-OpenLayers-3-and-ExtJS-6.html

What is the home page URL?
https://geoext.github.io/geoext3/

What is the Open HUB URL for your project?
https://www.openhub.net/p/geoext3

What is the size of your developer community?
9 developers have contributed in the last year

What is the size of the user community?
There is a mailing list with infrequent posts. Many applications are Intranet based so it is hard to guage active use.

How much disk space will be required to install the application and a suitable example application?
Disk space - < 3MB (mainly the ExtJS library)

I'm willing to act as the project liaison.

How long has the project has had mature code?
GeoExt has been around since 2009. GeoExt3 was started in 2015.
