[GeoNode-users] Followup Survey - need for a (Admin) book?!

[Stefan Steiniger]

Hey Jeffrey et al.,

I just filled the survey but forgot one thing - posting this to the list 
to see if its just me who see a need:

my Situation: I am running GeoNode (2.0) since about 1.5-2 years for a 
research centre. Now I need to think about a successor of mine who will 
administrate GeoNode in case I will move on. I am trying to document 
lots with my own wiki, but what I felt is missing is a book on GeoNode 
(such as for GeoServer, etc.) that I can just give to him/her. I know 
development is moving fast, and the customer group is probably tiny - 
but... perhaps many universities and municipalities will run a GeoNode 
at some point?

We don't have for instance money for an ArcGIS portal license or so, and 
traveling to a FOSS4G to the US is also out of reach, but I think we 
would have the 50-100 US$ to buy a good admin book that outlines the 
GeoNode basics/structure and how to set it up, including how to make an 
own welcome page/css, as similar to the online doc, some FAQ and perhaps 
tuning tips... So also perhaps similar as the PostGIS & GeoServer books???

An important point may be, however, that my successor will more likely 
come from an IT background than from a GIS background. And for these its 
also a bit tricky to understand some GIS things.

Ok, my 2 cents...
