[OSGeo-Edu] A couple of things for the free GIS book

[Victor Olaya]

Landon,

Great idea! I think you can send it to the list or, even better, create a
wiki page for it at the osgeo wiki. I hope that we can soon have a branch at
the SVN with all the LaTeX structure translated into english. Until then, I
think that this is a good solution. No one else has shown inteterest in that
chapter, so, since you are the first one, you should be the main author (I
will add you as such on the spanish documents, if you agree)

If I have time today, I will try to add also the names of the main authors
to the table of contents(in english) at the wiki.

Regards.

Victor,

Why don't I take a stab at the chapter on metadata? (As long as no one
else has there heart set on it.)

Is there another place that I can post a tentative outline for the
chapter, or will it be appropriate to send it to this list?

Landon

Landon,

thanks for your help. A lot of work needs to be done!. The whole part on
cartographic design is at stage 0. Also, stages 1 and 2 mean that not a
single word has yet been written on those chapters. So many chapters
need
some work.

We are using LaTeX to create a PDF, but for vector graphics I am using
Inkscape as well (the svg files can be downloaded from the svn), and
Gimp
(and Photoshop, I have to confess it...). I wrote some guidelines for
authors, with information on how to create images and how to properly
use
LaTeX commands, but I had no time to translate them into english yet. I
hope
I can do that during this week.

If you want to collaborate, for sure you are welcome. We need people to
help
us. If you do not see it clear, just tell me in which part of the book
you
would like to collaborate, and I'm sure that we will find something for
you
to do ;-)

Thanks a lot for your help!

Regards
