Stefan,<br>
Really nice docs. Thank you.<br>
<br>
I've made some updates, and you can see in the version below. I've also
included comments in italics my suggestions which I suggest you action
(or not).<br>
You are also welcome to reverse my updates if you think they are
inappropriate.<br>

<i>Cameron: I change the above subheading to be descriptive of what
AtlasStyler does (in line with our template.</i><br>
<br>
<p><a class="reference external"
href="http://en.geopublishing.org/AtlasStyler">AtlasStyler</a> is a
user-friendly desktop application for styling geodata. The resulting
styles can be saved as OGC standards complient SLD/SE files.<br>
<i>Cameron: Removed some words above hopefully without removing meaning.</i><br>
</p>
<p>The created SLD files are compatible with all programs which support
the OGC SLD standard, including GeoServer, uDig and others. <br>
<i>Cameron: Removed reference to Geotools related applications as users
are unlikely to know what applications depend upon Geotools. Can you
mention C based programs like QGis or GRASS above?</i><br>
</p>
<p>The application provides a multitude of intuitive dialogs to
simplify style creation. Users can apply abstract classifications like
unique values, colored quantiles or equal distance. Additionally users
have integrated access to an online symbol-database. Users can create
and save symbols in the SymbolEditor and reused in classifications or
other projects.<br>
<i>Cameron: Does "drag and drop" describe functionality? If so, I
suggest mentioning "drag and drop"</i><br>
