Hi folks. By my estimate, the last time we had a true documentation push was prior to the release of 2.0.0, about three years ago. I think it may be time to do another one.
I was reminded of this recently as I found a tutorial page [1] that mentioned how the www/ directory would allow you to serve even "a full installation of MapBuilder". MapBuilder, if I'm not mistaken, was retired in 2008. :) A trivial example, mind you, but there are still screenshots from the 1.7.x series [2], documentation on extensions that no longer exist [3], and other small bummers that come from a general lack of curation. With this in mind, is there any interest in a documentation sprint, possibly hosted in the OpenGeo (NYC) office? The goal would be to clean up, update, curate, reorganize, fill gaps, and perform other tasks that aren't covered by our day-to-day operation. We've come a long way, and I think we should be proud of what we have. That said, I think we can still strive for improvement. Spending a little bit of time directly addressing our documentation will pay dividends over the long term, and make what we have easier to maintain. Interested? Thoughts?
