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...

I agree that PyWPS should be included in OSGeoLive in 8.5.

Having a better application to demonstrate its capabilities, or a quickstart using QGIS WPS plugin would be a nice thing to have. Same applies for Iris, a nice demonstration is what new users will see first ;)

Best,
