Ben Caradoc-Davies commented on GEOS-3266:
------------------------------------------

I would like to promote this issue to put it on the Roadmap for the next 
release. There is still a huge amount of 1.7.x user doc content that is 
not in trunk docs. I have not even looked at the developer docs 
discrepancy. It concerns me that we are at 2.0-RC1 and we are still 
missing many features (in that they are not documented on trunk). Users 
still need to read 1.7.x and trunk side-by-side.

Mike and Alyssa, the new docs you have written are excellent. They must 
have taken quite a while. Some of the 1.7.x docs are more textual and do 
not require new screenshots, just some proofing and updating. These 
could be delegated to the original authors or knowledgeable volunteers. 
We can make these subtasks.

If you agree, we could promote this issue to:
Priority: Critical
Fix version: 2.0-RC2

We need it to be Critical to block release. We need it to be fix-version 
on a release tag for it to appear on the radar. Fix-version on a branch 
will be invisible.

It is time to start hassling all module maintainers to get some better 
docs. I am as bad an offender as any. Good docs make a huge difference 
to end users. Check out the latest PostGIS docs. Inspirational levels of 
improvement, and better than any commercial competitor. As good as 
PostgreSQL. Sphinx lets us do just as well.

Documentation is not what developers like to do, so you need to crack 
the whip.  ;-)
