Hi all. I'd like to bring up the subject of shutting down our old documentation, hosted at:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC This was the location of the original GeoServer documentation, before the migration to Sphinx (with projects now hosted at http://docs.geoserver.org). We elected to leave up all of the historical content in order to help migration/transition. It has now been almost two years, so I think it's high time to get tough with ourselves, and force people to migrate to the new content. There are other, more pragmatic reasons to do this. Do a search for "geoserver shapefile" on Google, and you get: http://geoserver.org/display/GEOSDOC/User+Tutorial+Shapefile This page has screenshots from GeoServer _1.5.1_. Users should be instead looking here: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/gettingstarted/shapefile-quickstart/index.html Or maybe here: http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/data/shapefile.html Try searching for pretty much anything involving GeoServer, and chances are that it points to the old documentation. That's unfortunate, because we've all done a lot of great work to produce updated quality documentation, so people should see it. By the way, I'm not talking about the GEOS space, which should remain. The space contains not only the download pages and the GSIPs, but also the homepage itself. So I am proposing the following: * Redirect (301) users who navigate to the old documentation to http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/index.html or maybe just http://docs.geoserver.org * Take down the GEOSDOC space (storing it somewhere safe so we can extract information we find we need). Thoughts?
