I am not familiar enough with GeoTools to comment on it, but as far as
library overviews go I was mostly thinking about "gdal-bin" and "proj-bin"
as they include apps like gdalinfo, gdalwarp, gdal_translate, ogr2ogr,
and cs2cs which on the user side of things I can't imagine living without.

so not really library overviews per se; I had not thought to give an
example demonstrating their C APIs etc.


AFAIAC if an OSGeo project or incubee steps up and wants a spot on the
disc, IMHO we've got a responsibility to accommodate them regardless.
but lets not worry about this until it's actually an issue.

many programmers are users too, or users first. it will be easier for them
to do tricky installs themselves, but programmers need hints about what
projects to look at just like everyone else.
