Mostly, I try to put together the series of correct/corrected commands
which lead to a certain task being accomplished in simple scripts that
serve as a rough documentation draft, but also as an easy way to repeat
the same task without repeating the mistakes. My first attempt at public
documentation went up at http://gis.fundiaperu.com the same week that
I touched GIS for the first time. It's nothing much at all now, hopefully
there will be more there as I go along.

Talking about documentation, the projection EPSG:42304 in the example at
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_client/#adding-a-wms-layer
is not in my proj-4.4.9 definition files. Probably a typo, but I have no
clue what it should be instead, so I'm not touching the wiki.
