Hi Mike, Possibly beyond the scope of your request, but an improved search engine for the docs wouldn't go amiss. After all, what's the use of excellent docs (and generally GeoServer's are some of the best I've seen in an Open Source project) if they're hard/impossible to search effectively. Currently to effectively search it's necessary to use a 3rd-party search engine.
Random example I just picked - Try searching using the GeoServer engine for say "WMS" or when that fails - "WMS Animator", which will also fail. Finally try "Animator" - this time there are 5 results, but none is what should be the obvious result - the WMS Animator page - http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/animreflector.html.

Apologies for being away for a while. I have recently been given a bit more time/space to contribute to GeoServer, and so my first thought (unsurprisingly) was to see how the docs are doing. So I just wanted to solicit a few opinions here on the -devel list to start for those who have been closer to the project than I have been: * What are the major needs of the documentation as it exists now? * What are the major gaps in the documentation (stuff not in there that should be)? * Is it worth asking those two questions on the -users list as well? I can't guarantee that I'll be able to spend oodles time on this right now, but I can say that I can spend more time than I have been (which, granted, isn't all that hard). Cheers!
