I agree with Ian. To avoid confusion I think we should perhaps update our overview and split up web services [1]. Now it reads: "publishing spatial data to the internet". That does not cover all services, nor is the list very understandable.
I suggest split it up in data publishing services, metadata publishing services, processing services and other services. With a short explanation of what they mean with a reference to the pages describing the standards that we already have [2]. I believe these standards pages also need some more care. I really wonder if anyone who is not familiar can read those. The user with little domain-specific knowledge should probably first find out that what he really needs is a WPS service, and then have a look at the different possibilities. In fact one could argue that we could have a quickstart about consuming the services could be separate from the quickstart for configuring services...
