What applications and versions should be included on OSGeo-Live 11.0?

We are asking all OSGeo-Live projects to let us know:
  1. What versions of projects should be on OSGeo-Live?
  2. Are there any new projects which should be on OSGeo-Live?
  3. Are there any projects which should be dropped from OSGeo-Live?
As per last announcement [1], with our next OSGeo-Live release we intend to focus on quality, and as such will be asking each project:
  1. To help install the latest stable version of the software.
  2. To verify Project Overview and Quickstarts are both up to date and in line with our documentation standards.
You can see results of our first pass review in our status spreadsheet [2], column T "11.0 comment", and column U "10.0 Doc Review".
