.. Cameron comment: istsos-logo image size is currently 600x140. It should be made smaller. Ideally it should be made into a square, 125x125, but at the very least should be a max height of 125 pixels. See https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Logo . Personally, I really like the round graph image which is inside the "O" of SOS. It is cool and square, and I think would be really good as the icon for istSOS. What do you think?

.. Cameron comment: screenshot_istsos.png image size is currently 1852x1008 and is too big, it should be 1024x768, and captured from 1024x768 screen size. See https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Screen_Shot . The URL should be put into ../../images/screenshots/1024x768/screenshot_istsos.png


istSOS strictly implements the SOS 1.0.0 standard, and has passed the OGC CITE (Compliance + Interopability Testing + Evaluation) units tests.
