It's based on KDE Four Live but some stuff is different like the package list 
or branding. If you go to the KDE:Medias project→ Packages → <name of the Live 
CD> → Source Files, you will see the recipe (ie: 
https://build.opensuse.org/package/files?package=kde-four-
live&project=KDE%3AMedias ). Anyone with an obs account can submit request 
changes. There's also a command line client for obs (osc).

I disabled the akademy-live build when Akademy was over. So right now there's 
no ISO to download.

Good idea. Let people choose :-)
Perhaps adding a screenshot per Live CD makes the wikipage more attractive.

You missed my message to this list back then :-P

Basically, KDE Four Live (upstream branding) and KDE-Reloaded (openSUSE 
branding): http://home.kde.org/~kdelive/
Download links are broken atm. So, go to 
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Medias/images/iso/ instead.
There's also KDE4-UNSTABLE (upstream snapshots) and KDE-Two-Live for those who 
are nostalgic ;-)
