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:

The quickstart I was thinking about is something like this one, also
about SEXTANTE for QGIS, but targeted at GeoNode users

That should not take long to adapt and have it ready for the
OSGeo-Live distribution

cheers

Victor,
I'm expanding this email thread to include the OSGeo-Live list, as I expect
there will be others with suggestions.

I suspect that Sextane would be considered a Library like Geotools, and as
such it might be best to just write up a Project Overview, and not write up
a Quickstart. I'll be interested to hear other thoughts on this.

I have just seen that there is already a section (a tiny one) about
SEXTANTE in the QGIS quickstart. Also, I have seen that gvSIG is in
the OSGeo Live, and that it includes SEXTANTE (it is mentioned in the
description, but not explained in the gvSIG quickstart)

If it's ok with you, I will target the SEXTANTE quickstart to the QGIS
version, and maybe mention that it can be used in the gvSIG also
shipped in the DVD. Does that sound good to you?

thanks
Victor

2013/6/10 Victor Olaya<[email protected]>:
Sure, I can contribute that.

A few questions:

- Which version of SEXTANTE are you including? is it the current core
QGIS version (included in what would be QGIS 2.0), or the old one that
runs on QGIS 1.8? Changes and bug
- I haven't tested SEXTANTE on SAGA 2.1 too much, but I have seen that
the syntax of some algorithms has changed, which will cause SEXTANTE
to fail when calling them. Target version for SAGA is 2.0.8...but I
guess we will  update to 2.1 when it is ready.

Anyway, the main ideas are the same, so I can work on a quickstart
that work for both versions.

Thanks!

Victor,
FYI: The detailed documentation howto is linked from here:

Cameron,

I guess Victor would be most useful person for doing this:-)
Victor: are you interested in writing a project overview (or can you
point us to someone who could) and perhaps a quickstart for sextante
for the next osgeo live dvd?
Examples are here:http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/overview.html

Sextante (for qgis) is already included on the live dvd, but we can
make it more visible if a seperate overview is added.

Johan.
