 * See the [[DebianGis/LiveImages]] wiki page
 * Add and fix the menu and freedesktop.org files in debian-gis packages
 * Artwork and branding (grub boot, desktop splash, desktop wallpaper) - competition on debianart.org
 * Some kind of intro document that is auto-loaded into a webbrowser on startup
 * Provide free data sets as shape files and loaded into postgis database.

== Long term goals ==

 * Quality Assurance:
  * Implementing a piupart-based thingy to periodically check installation status of all interested packages
  * Things to add to the status script: RC counters et al, see [[DebianGis/EdiMeetingMinutes]]

 * DebianGis Backports: mantaining an up-to-date backported toolchain (gdal+grass+qgis+postgis+mapserver at least) for stable

 * Java related tools: Java has become a primary tool language for GIS serious application. We miss many of them and Java is moving to main.

 * Perl GIS modules: CPAN maintains a [[http://search.cpan.org/search?query=Geo%3A%3A&mode=module|large collection]] of GIS related modules that we have not in the archive.

 * GRASS add-ons: contributed modules for GRASS.
 * Adding most of [[http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/Spatial.html|R spatial packages]]
