Next thing I was wondering about was if it was possible to rate answers. And if it would be possible to easily transform answers into documentation. But I haven't found a real solution yet.
Milo, I think it would be very valuable if some people were willing to comb the mailing list for frequently asked questions and answers and turn some of them into FAQ entries on the plone site. I'm bad at writing FAQs because I always write FAQs for the questions I wish people would ask, instead of the ones they do ask. :-( But someone interested in spending a couple hours contributing to the MapServer world could review a few weeks email traffic, and pick out a couple common questions with good answers and digest it into FAQs to list at: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/faq The answers might even include pointers back into the discussion threads on the mailing list for additional details. For those not wanting to contact Howard for Plone update access, I would even be willing to add FAQs on their behalf if carefully prepared. Though getting and using update access to the mapserver site is quite easy and additional contributors are welcome! I also wonder if the FAQ list ought to be featured a bit more prominently on the web site. I was surprised to discover they are categorized if you go to the full faq list. I normally just see them in this view: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs Best regards, -- ---------------------------------------+-------------------------------------- I set the clouds in motion - turn up | Frank Warmerdam, [EMAIL PROTECTED] light and sound - activate the windows | http://pobox.com/~warmerdam and watch the world go round - Rush | President OSGeo, http://osgeo.org _______________________________________________ mapserver-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users
