You need to read Danes email better: " Because I am the individual that added Mapnik to osgeo-live originally I would prefer you remove it. " OSGeo-Live is not thriving because there isn't enough participation of the people involved in the projects included in OSGeo-Live. If projects want to be included in OSGeo-Live for its use in workshops and the like, they will need to contribute to the maintenance of their project in OSGeo-Live. > As I said in the weekly meeting recently, OSGeo does itself no favors by > framing things this way..
