I've spent quite a bit of time on the documentation over the last few
days, and now the the documentation generation such that what is built
for the OSGeo-Live DVD can be copied verbatim to the website.
Key things I've done:
* I've introduced a download tab, and download.html page, which
describes the images we have, and points users at
http://download.osgeo.org/livedvd to get the images.
(Before we go live, we will need to remove the redirect currently at
this page)
* I've simplified the main home page, which now has ~ half the content,
and have added a screenshot to the home page.
* I've created 4 new quickstarts, with screenshots:
** How to run OSGeo Live
** How to run in a VM
** How to install onto a hard drive
** How to create a USB thumb drive
* these quickstarts are linked from the home page
Plus a number of other small tweaks here and there.
Remaining issues:
* I've removed descriptions about Internationalisation from the home
index.html page, but have not put it back any where. Ideally it should
be put into a quickstart, but I've run out of time, and am not planning
to do it. If someone else wants to, the original text is still here:
http://live.osgeo.org
* We don't have any instructions for how to install the VM image
(because I haven't tried installing a vmware image into VirtualBox yet)
* We don't have instructions on how to install into VMWare, or any other
Virtual Machine. I'm ok with this. A quick start just needs to show
people how to get going with one method, not every method.
* It would be great if someone could align the rst fonts with the
index.html fonts, but this doesn't need to stop us from going live.
