Please have a look at the German quickstart ( http://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/de/quickstart/udig_quickstart.rst) where I've already added the natural earth data sets to udig (sorry, still a TODO for me to take screenshots). I used the the following data sets so far:
- 10m_admin_0_countries.shp - HYP_50M_SR_W.tif IMO, we don't need to pregenerate the spatial index for the 10m_admin_0_countries - quite a few features in this dataset. And if the user walk through the quickstart guide has to read a bit to go on to the next step ;) Right now we should care about what's already in the quickstart guide, I couldn't found any hint for timezones (OSGeo-Live). For the quickstart at http://udig.refractions.net/confluence/display/EN/Quickstart+Draft if found still times zones and clouds in the description, do we really need these? I would prefer to add different kind from the mentioned natural earth data sets, because the user guide doesn't contain any information about SLD's. But priority #1 IMHO is the 1.2.2 release - 4th July is today ;) . To add additional datasets to the OSGeo Live project we have to update install scripts as well - in my opinion it's could be to late to start today with it :( . How can I support you for the release or is it possible to have a snapshot release in the VM?
