Hi Scott,

Thanks for your response and URL. Could you please update us on current status and schedule for OGC documentation.

* Is the documentation at http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html considered draft, ready for production, other?

* Is there a maintenance program in place to ensure that this documentation is continuously kept up to date? Eg: to update existing documentation whenever a new standard is published.

* It appears that the URL provided only mentions WMS KML, SLD, SE, CSW standards. Is there any commitment to generate documentation for other standards?

Warm regards, Cameron

Hi Cameron,

OGC would very much like to be the source of documentation where possible to keep you from duplicating effort! Perhaps you could link to our material where it is current and useful (as you referenced in your mail) and I will be sure to keep you informed as we accelerate our “implementer-friendly” standards documentation. Examples of such documentation can be found here:
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html

Where the OSGeo community has developed superior documentation, you may want to stick with that material until we get our material ready.

Best Regards,
Scott

To date, OSGeo-Live documentation has included write ups of a number of OGC Standards (including both English master text and translations). [1]

However, this documentation hasn't been maintained for a number of years.

As we go through rationalising what we continue to include on OSGeo-Live, we are wondering what should be done about OGC standards text on OSGeo-Live.

I'm aware of the OGC has created some material [2], which on first glance looks to be more complete and more current than the OSGeo-Live material.

I'm interested to hear thoughts (especially from the OGC) on what we should do in moving forward.

* Should we drop OSGeo-Live write up of OGC Standards all together, as it is not core business of OSGeo? (This would free up some space on OSGeo-Live)

* Should we provide a reference to a OGC Standards URL? If so, where would that be?

* Should we make a copy OGC standards into OSGeo-Live docs? If so, who will take responsibility for writing and maintaining the build scripts.

* Would the OGC want to investigate using OSGeo-Live's existing translation community to translate OGC docs? If so, how should this be approached and who would like to coordinate it?

Thoughts will be welcomed.
