With wikis theres a perceptual "anyone can edit it so I'll let them do it". Actually with any project only a small percentage of users contribute, but maybe HAMs are usually in that group of people that'll step up
for CVS README -> wiki could have a bot do that. But I think we can be trusted to play nice with the readme ;) I'm a bit curious of the investments in diskspace 2-3 gigs, does the tiger data work okay off of DVD (for like a livedvd) I'm also curious if anyones tried removing data fields that are useless from the dbf files. For BC roads: 40mb shp, 300mb dbf. One piece: 5870865 bytes/3927 lines = 1495bytes/line probably be able to cut 90% off If I get enough time to figure it out, I'll make sure the wiki knows what I did.

Well, if the Wiki turns out to be the master set of docs in the long run, and we can generate html and/or text from them to go into the distributions (and CVS), then my "grep" will still work. I tend to use grep a lot, and find it faster to work with text documents than I do web docs. Also it takes a while to bring up a web browser plus if there's any graphics on the web pages they're very slow to load over a dial-up. -- Curt, WE7U.
