Ok,
I'll rephase "requirement" to "/strongly request/ the version of World
Wind Web installed on OSGeo-Live be allocated a version number", for the
reasons listed below.
Gabriele, do you think this is achievable?
I think I'm safe in saying that using version numbers is in line with
best practice software engineering, and one of the indications of
project maturity we wish to encourage.
Cheers, Cameron

Hi Cameron,
Given that we include at least another project that uses "trunk"
(for many years now) and not a released version, we cannot make
this a hard requirement in my opinion
Best,

Hi Gabriele,
Thanks for offering to help with reducing packaging size.
That will be helpful.
I also think it would be very valuable for the version of the
World Wind Web to be installed on OSGeo-Live to be allocated
a version number. There are many reasons for this, including:
1. People will be able to determine if the version of World
Wind Web they are looking at is the latest version.
2. People will be able to determine if they should upgrade to
a more recent version (because they are looking at an older
version)
3. Developers and users will be able to align feature lists
and bug reports with specific version numbers, which will
help users determine whether to upgrade
I think that defining a package version number should be a
prerequisite for including the package on OSGeo-Live. The
version number could be called "beta" so long as it is
considered "stable" by the developer and user community.
Warm regards, Cameron
