I remain unconvinced here..
Logically, that argument could extend to user interfaces of software,
the look and feel of all manuals, etc
There is a balance to be struck between building a distribution and
drawing on the strengths of projects

As yet, we don't have a policy on including white papers in
OSGeo-Live, and this close to a release we probably shouldn't change
the status-quo.
However,
For future releases, I suggest that we should not be including white
papers unless they are all written in a consistent manner.
I feel that the greatest value of OSGeo-Live is the impression of
quality that we bring when demonstrating our Open Source projects.
Part of this impression is achieved through the attention to detail
over things like consistency in documentation.
To achieve consistency in white paper write ups will be a significant
amount of work, and as such, I suggest that we should not tackle that
problem yet. What we can do consistently is provide links to external
resources like white papers.

The primary purposes of the LiveDVD... ?
I suggest they are a clear win in disk space vs. value
Perhaps we could call upon the list again
and make the few tens of megabytes of space needed to hold these
valuable resources
