Since then decades have passed, we have a website (at <a href="http://postgis.net/" target="_blank">postgis.net</a>), user handbook (<a href="https://postgis.net/documentation/manual/" target="_blank">https://postgis.net/documentation/manual/</a>), training materials (<a href="https://github.com/postgis/postgis-workshops" target="_blank">https://github.com/postgis/postgis-workshops</a>). Most pages are 15+ years old.<br><br>A gap that we had until recently was developer documentation. Existing developers got some knowledge by osmosis, and in the last month we learned we did not write down a lot of nuances by observing the common misses by LLMs. As previously mentioned in <a href="https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2026-June/030846.html" target="_blank">https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2026-June/030846.html</a> the notes collected during review of AI pull requests were combined with trac content that is still relevant and pushed to<br><a href="https://gitea.osgeo.org/postgis/postgis/src/branch/master/doc/development" target="_blank">https://gitea.osgeo.org/postgis/postgis/src/branch/master/doc/development</a> - thanks everyone (especially Sandro and Regina) for the comments on the changes and what needs to be in docs. Everyone is welcome to enhance these docs.<br><br>So, I propose we delete documentation from trac wiki and agree to not add more there in the future.<br><br>We also used trac for meeting notes, and tickets. These are out of scope for this vote.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Darafei.<o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></blockquote></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
