Hi Antonio,<br>
I've had a quick pass over the OpenLayers Project Overview and
Quickstart.<br>
<br>
Project Overview:<br>
* I notice there are only minor changes from OL2, which is mostly
fine.<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/changeset?new=12020%40livedvd%2Fgisvm%2Ftrunk%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Foverview%2Fopenlayers_overview.rst&old=11575%40livedvd%2Fgisvm%2Ftrunk%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Foverview%2Fopenlayers_overview.rst" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/changeset?new=12020%40livedvd%2Fgisvm%2Ftrunk%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Foverview%2Fopenlayers_overview.rst&old=11575%40livedvd%2Fgisvm%2Ftrunk%2Fdoc%2Fen%2Foverview%2Fopenlayers_overview.rst</a><br>
<br>
* I notice that reference to using Google Maps as a base layer has
been removed. I assume that OL3 can still access Google Maps layers?
This would be an important feature for some users, and worth noting.
Is there any reason for removing such reference?<br>
<br>
* I suggest having a look at the leaflet Project Overview. I suspect
you will see features currently listed for Leaflet which could also
be listed for OpenLayers.<br>
<br>
* At the moment the Project Overview image is quite plain, with only
one base map. You might want to consider adding some other features,
such as a legend, a tool bar, popup window, etc. Possibly even
create a collage such as used by GeoServer:
<a href="http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/geoserver_overview.html" target="_blank">http://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/geoserver_overview.html</a><br>
<br>
* I notice you are referencing the location of source code. This
line should be removed as it doesn't fit with our template. Less
words get read more. If someone is serious enough about the project
to want to get source code, then they will find it on the project's
web page.<br>
<br>
Quickstart:<br>
* I've only had a brief overview of the quickstart so far, but have
noticed:<br>
<br>
So far, there are no screen shots after each step, in line with our
guidelines:
<a href="http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Application_Quick_Start" target="_blank">http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Application_Quick_Start</a><br>
(I see that the previous OpenLayers Quickstart didn't have images
either)<br>
<br>
An example of a good quickstart is:
<a href="http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/udig_quickstart.html" target="_blank">http://live.osgeo.org/en/quickstart/udig_quickstart.html</a><br>
You might want to consider writing style and structure used by the
udig_quickstart, which we use as our template to base other
quickstarts from.<br>

Thank you very much Antonio for all your work on OpenLayers 3.<br>
I'm forwarding your email onto the OSGeo-Live list.<br>
<br>
OSGeo-Live developers,<br>
I'd be keen to see feedback provided to Antonio for his packaging
and doc updates for OpenLayers 3.<br>
Anyone up to the task?<br>
<br>
I'm anticipating OpenLayers 3 will be one of the hot topics for
the OSGeo-Live 8.5 release.<br>
