Update OSGeo-Live docs and installer

16 January 2012

Could all projects please update Project Overviews, Quickstarts and ensure the application installer loads the correct version of software.

Once finished, update our status sheet. [1]

We'd like docs updated in time for translators by Monday 30 January 2012, in two weeks.

Project Overviews [2]

  • Ensure that the version is the same in the status sheet [1] and installed application
  • If required, updated the feature list or text
  • Once complete, update the status sheet [1] to "5.5draft"
  • I'll review all Overviews set to "5.5draft"

Quickstarts [3]

  • If required, update the Quickstart text, then set status in spreadsheet to "5.5draft"
  • Test that the quickstart works in a recent OSGeo-Live release, and if the Quickstart works as expected, update the "Tested by" column in the status sheet [1] to "5.5<yourname>". Report any errors to the application's developer and/or developer community and/or osgeo-live email list.
  • Have a independent person check the quickstart and add name to the "Tested by" column.


Installers [4]

  • Application installers should be updated to install the stable release, as listed in our status sheet [1].
