Hi,<div><br></div><div>While writing the pgRouting overview and quickstart I often thought there might be several possibilities to link to overview pages of other projects, in my case to PostGIS for example.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Is there an "official" way how to link between pages? Some naming convention maybe, so links won't break if someone makes a change.</div><div><br></div><div>Daniel</div><div><br></div><div><br><br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
thanks for looking them over for content. I've now done that for syntax<br>
and it's pretty much building with no reST errors and a minimal warnings<br>
now. I agree with your style points, only thing I'd mention is that the<br>
quasi-technical stuff can well be moved from the overview into the<br>
quickstart as it will only be seen by the self-motivated "further reading"<br>
crowd, and:<br>

</div>I'm not so convinced about that, Open Source is one of the most important,<br>
if not The most important, selling point we have vs. the competition.<br>
Seems to me we'd be doing ourselves a disservice by not hammering home<br>
that point at every opportunity. Repetition repetition repetition of<br>
your key selling point!<br>
<br>
<br>
* for a few of the overviews I put together it looked better to move<br>
the screenshot to after the "Core features" subheading. Maybe consider<br>
doing that for all to keep it consistent.<br>
Maybe consider to make more overview screenshots as 40% not 50% as it<br>
lets the bullet points on the left side flow a bit better.<br>
<br>
* anyone want to write an overview and quickstart for GDAL & OGR?<br>
<br>
* fwiw the Mapnik docs discuss OpenLayers a bit, and gdal2tiles can be<br>
used to create a local TMS repo which just has to be copied over into<br>
the /var/www/tiles/ dir in order to be used. (perhaps with the natural<br>
earth raster download..? might as well put those 50mb to use in the<br>
tutorials somehow)<br>
<br>
* Still interested to hear ideas about splitting up the Servers menu. In<br>
case I wasn't clear before, I'd prefer like Geo->Servers->MapServer-><br>
then Start, Stop too, but adding that extra layer to the menu hierarchy is<br>
a major PITA. "Desktop Apps" has already been split into "Desktop GIS" and<br>
"Navigation and Maps". How to split "Server Apps" along similar lines?<br>
(beyond alphabetic) two-way "B.I." tools vs extract-only Map Servers?<br>
<br>
