Hi Cameron,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">OGC would very much like to be the source of
documentation where possible to keep you from duplicating
effort! Perhaps you could link to our material where it is
current and useful (as you referenced in your mail) and I will
be sure to keep you informed as we accelerate our
“implementer-friendly” standards documentation. Examples of such
documentation can be found here:</div>
<div class=""><a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html" class="">http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Where the OSGeo community has developed superior
documentation, you may want to stick with that material until we
get our material ready.</div>

<div class="">To date, OSGeo-Live documentation has
included write ups of a number of OGC Standards
(including both English master text and translations).
[1]<br class="">
<br class="">
However, this documentation hasn't been maintained for a
number of years.<br class="">
<br class="">
As we go through rationalising what we continue to
include on OSGeo-Live, we are wondering what should be
done about OGC standards text on OSGeo-Live.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm aware of the OGC has created some material [2],
which on first glance looks to be more complete and more
current than the OSGeo-Live material.<br class="">
<br class="">
I'm interested to hear thoughts (especially from the
OGC) on what we should do in moving forward.<br class="">
<br class="">
* Should we drop OSGeo-Live write up of OGC Standards
all together, as it is not core business of OSGeo? (This
would free up some space on OSGeo-Live)<br class="">
<br class="">
* Should we provide a reference to a OGC Standards URL?
If so, where would that be?<br class="">
<br class="">
* Should we make a copy OGC standards into OSGeo-Live
docs? If so, who will take responsibility for writing
and maintaining the build scripts.<br class="">
<br class="">
* Would the OGC want to investigate using OSGeo-Live's
existing translation community to translate OGC docs? If
so, how should this be approached and who would like to
coordinate it?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thoughts will be welcomed.<br class="">
