+<!--  
+<p>To create, as a community, the leading international web-based platform for developing and deploying web mapping applications and geospatial web services. The goals for the platform are as follows:</p>
+<ul type="square">
+  <li>use the  service-oriented architecture pattern</li>
+  <li>fast, scalable, and cross platform</li>
+  <li>make use of  open source components</li>
+  <li>support rich access to spatial data both vector and raster </li>
+  <li>provide a full suite of spatial analysis</li>
+  <li>produce visually stunning cartographic maps</li>
+  <li>include viewers that work within any browser on any platform</li>
+  <li>provide the highest degree of map interactivity possible </li>
+  <li>offer a single API that works with both vector and raster based client-side viewers </li>
+  <li>conform with open standards </li>
+</ul>

+<h3><a name="history" id="history">Historical Background</a></h3>
+<!--  
+<p>FDO was first introduced as Argus FDO in 1995 by Argus Technologies in Calgary, Alberta. Autodesk acquired Argus Technologies in the fall of 1996 and within a few months the first release under the Autodesk brand was introduced, Autodesk FDO 2.0. The software progressed through a number of releases leading up to the current Autodesk FDO 6.5. To this day FDO 6.5 and previous releases are known for ease of deployment, rapid application development, data connectivity, scalability, and overall performance.</p>
+<p>Despite its success the FDO 6.5 architecture  has some inherent limitations. To this day most FDO applications rely upon a client Plug-in, ActiveX Control, or Java Applet with much of the application logic written in JavaScript using the APIs offered by the client-side plug-in. All spatial analysis is performed client-side on rendered graphics rather than on the underlying spatial data. And finally the server platform is very Windows centric. </p>
+<p>In the spring of 2004 a dedicated team of developers began work on what is now FDO Open Source. Our goals were simple, retain all of the best aspects of FDO 6.5 while also meeting the goals set out above. The result is FDO Open Source. Autodesk released FDO Open Source under the LGPL in November 2005, and contributed the code to the Open Source Geospatial Foundation in March 2006.</p>

+<ul type="square">
+<li>Project Steering Committee - The Project Steering Committee (PSC) is responsible for the overall management of the FDO Open Source project. The PSC determines when releases will be made available, what enhancements and defects will go into a particular release, and who the Project Developers are. The PSC is also responsible for providing the Open Source Geospatial Foundation board with regular status reports. </li>
+<li>Project Developers - A Project Developer has full commit access to the trunk of the source tree. Project Developers can directly make changes to the source base of the   development branch, from which the nightly builds are made. Project Developers review and accept code submitted by Project Contributors. </li>
+<li>Project Contributors - A Project Contributor is a developer who contributes patches, code, and/or documentation through the Project Tracker tool. Project Contributors do not have Subversion check-in access. Integration of a developers' contributions is at the discretion of the Project Owner and individuals in the Project Developer role. This is typically an iterative, communicative process. </li>
+<li>Users - Users are the project&rsquo;s reason for being. They are the individuals that use and develop applications on the FDO Open Source API. </li>

+<h1>FDO Open Source - Artifact Lifecycle</h1>
+
+<div class="h2">
+<h2>Overview</h2>
+All artifacts in the FDO Open Source project follow a rigid lifecycle and all project development occurs within that lifecycle. This lifecycle is managed and tracked through the <a href="projectartifacts.html#common">Status Attribute Group</a> that all artifact types share. In particular the value of the <a href="#artifactStatus">Status</a> attribute indicates where in its lifecycle the artifact is. At any point which status transistions are allowed depend upon three things, the current status, the allowed  transistions from that status, and the user's role.  The following diagram shows the possible status transistions of an artifact.
+<div align="center"><br /><img src="artifactlifecycle.png" alt="Artifact Life Cycle" /></div>
+<p>When an artifacts status moves to Assigned, Resolution Proposed, or Resolved a user must be specified in the "Assigned To" attribute. Likewise when an artifact moves into the Resolved status a Resolution must be set. The following tables show the meanining of each Status value, the Resolution values, and the status transistions allowed for each user role.</p>
+</div>
+
+<div class="h2">
+<a name="artifactStatus" id="artifactStatus"><h2>Artifact Status</h2></a>
+<p>The "Status" attribute of an artifact indicates where in its lifecycle the artifact is. All artifacts start in either the Unconfirmed or New state depending on the role of the person entering the artifact.</p>
+<table width="100%">

+<title>FDO Open Source - Getting Involved as a Contributor</title>
+</head>
+
+<body>
+<h1>FDO Open Source - Getting Involved as a Contributor</h1>
+<p><strong>NOTE: All of the information on this page is subject to change as the Open Source Geospatial Foundation makes decisions regarding its governance.</strong></p>
+
+<p>There are three different levels of involvement for developers interested in contributing to FDO Open Source.  These levels of involvement are  as follows:</p>
+<ul type="square">
+  <li><strong>Project Contributor</strong> - A Project Contributor is a developer who contributes patches, code, and/or documentation through the Project Tracker tool. Project Contributors do not have Subversion check-in access. Integration of a developer's   contributions is at the discretion of the FDO Open Source Project Steering Comittee (PSC) and individuals in the Project Developer role. This is typically an   iterative, communicative process.</li>
+  <li><strong>Project Developer</strong> -  A Project Developer has full commit access to the trunk of the source tree and has a signed Contributor License Agreement on file with OSGeo. Project Developers can directly make changes to the source base of the   development branch, from which the nightly builds are made. Project Developers review and accept code submitted by Project Contributors. Project Developers are elected by  the PSC.</li>
+  <li><strong>Project Steering Committee  (PSC) Member </strong>&ndash; The FDO Open Source PSC is the entity that manages the project.&nbsp; A PSC Member is a Project Developer that was  elected to the FDO Open Source PSC due to the developer&rsquo;s merit and active  participation in the project.&nbsp; PSC  Members have full commit access to the code repository, the right to vote for  project-related decisions, and the right to propose individuals for Project  Developer status.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>All developers on the project start out as Project Contributors. A developer who has sent in solid, useful patches  can be elevated   to the Project Developer role by the Project Steering Committee (PSC). To become a Project Contributor use the <a href="https://fdo.osgeo.org/servlets/ProjectMembershipRequest">Request   project membership/role</a> link at the top of the FDO Open Source project   home page and request the Project Contributor role. </p>
+<p>Please note that the Open Source Geospatial Foundation is currently  defining its governance model and intellectual property policies, including the  policy under which the OSGeo accepts code contributions from developers.&nbsp; Until these policies are fully defined, we  cannot grant Project Developer status to any individual.&nbsp; It is expected that developers will be asked  to sign a Contributor License Agreement similar to what Apache Software  Foundation requires before becoming a Project Developer or PSC Member.<br />
+</p>

+<title>FDO Open Source - Project Artifacts</title>
+</head>
+<body>
+<h1>FDO Open Source - Project Artifacts</h1>
+<div class="h2">
+<h2>Overview</h2>
+The FDO Open Source development process uses "Artifacts" to track and manage defects, enhancements, and tasks. All changes to FDO source code must be tied to an artifact. The Project Tracker application provides a database for storing artifacts along with a web based interface for entering, modifying, and querying artifacts. Each artifact type has a unique collection of "Attributes" (or fields) much like the attributes in a database table. Attributes are presented in "Attribute Groups" that gather related attributes into logical groupings. Users are associated with artifacts via special "User Attributes". All users associated with an artifact are notified any time the artifact changes.
+<h3>FDO Open Source Artifact Types</h3>
+FDO Open Source supports the following three artifact types:
+<ul type="square">
+  <li><a href="#defect">Defect</a> - Used to record and track bugs in an existing component or feature.</li>
+  <li><a href="#enhancement">Enhancement</a> - Used to record and track the development of product enhancements.</li>
+  <li><a href="#task">Task</a> - Used to record and track work that needs to be done and work in progress.</li>
+</ul>
+All of these artifact types have a common collection of Attribute Groups (<a href="#common">found here</a>) that are used for tracking the status or lifecycle of artifacts, providing information about code submissions, and for associating users with artifacts.<br />
+<br />
+To understand how artifacts progress through their lifecycle go <a href="artifactlifecycle.html">here</a>.

+  <li>under Windows: open the file &quot;C:\Documents and Settings\&#8249;username&#8250;\Application Data\Subversion\config&quot; (if you use TortoiseSVN then you can also open this file via the TortoiseSVN UI)</li>
+  <li>under Linux: open the file &quot;~/.subversion/config&quot;</li>
+</ul>
+
+<dl>
+  <dt>1. Enable use of commit times</dt>
+  <dd>Locate the &quot;use-commit-times&quot; setting in the configuration file, and make sure it is enabled:<br />
+    <br />
+    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;use-commit-times = yes<br />
+	<br />
+	If you don't enable this then there's a good chance you'll have build errors under Linux.  File time-stamps need to be set correctly under Linux to ensure 'make' works properly.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>2. Enable the use of auto props</dt>
+  <dd>Locate the &quot;enable-auto-props&quot; setting in the configuration file, and make sure it is enabled:<br />
+    <br />
+    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;enable-auto-props = yes<br />
+    <br />
+    By enabling this you ensure that metadata gets automatically added for any new files you add to Subversion.  An example is the eol-style property.
+  </dd>
+
+  <dt>3. Configure automatic properties</dt>
+  <dd>Subversion contains a number of properties (metadata) you can set per file.  At the end of your config file is the [auto-props] section where you can specify which properties get automatically set when you add a file.  At a minimum you must set the svn:eol-style property:<br />
+    <br />
+	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;* = svn:eol-style=native<br />
+	<br />
+	By default the config file has examples to specify different values for this property for different file types.  Just set it to native for all file types as above and be done with it.<br />
+	<br />
+	If you frequently edit Linux shell scripts then you might want to also configure the executable property:<br />
+	<br />
+	&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*.sh = svn:executable=yes<br />
+	<br />
+	This makes all shell scripts executable, by default.
+  </dd>
