[Gdal-dev] [motion] Migration of web pages to the Wiki

[Matt Wilkie]

Hi Mateusz,

I worked a little bit on adding some stuff to the wiki, but quickly got 
to the point of not knowing where to put stuff, or what was going to 
stay in svn/doxygen/whatever and shouldn't be duplicated in the wiki.

Another issue I ran into was devising a scheme to easily discriminate 
between end user and developer docs. I floated an idea for this at 
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/TracDiscuss but have no responses so 
far. I don't know whether this is because no one has noticed the page or 
  if they just don't have an opinion. ;)

> Could we list pages that are good candidates to migrate to the Wiki?

As a general principle I suggest focussing on user docs as developers 
already have access to svn, so can change things (like the man-style 
quick references pages for the utilities) there.

> Also, I'd like to migrate our FAQ to the Wiki, so it will be easier to
> maintain it, encourage for contributions and monitor them.
> Is there any objection or I can move on with FAQ as the first item to
> migrate?

No objection from me, the FAQ is a perfect candidate.
