Hello,

Sample Data
------------------
I think for the sample data it is important, that the data is not too 
big.

It would be great if it would fit to the data we already have
https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/nc_dataset_overview.html


About the documentation.
----------------------------------------
Each project has to provide an overview document and a quickstart.
see https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html
On Github at: https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/tree/master/doc
the line in the csv file gathers some overview information that is used 
to setup the documentation pages 
(https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/blob/master/projects_info.csv)
