[Cameron Shorter]

Stefan,
Really nice docs. Thank you.

I've made some updates, and you can see in the version below. I've also 
included comments in italics my suggestions which I suggest you action 
(or not).
You are also welcome to reverse my updates if you think they are 
inappropriate.

    Feature Style Editor¶ <cid:part2.04010305.08050302 at gmail.com>

/Cameron: I change the above subheading to be descriptive of what 
AtlasStyler does (in line with our template./

AtlasStyler <http://en.geopublishing.org/AtlasStyler> is a user-friendly 
desktop application for styling geodata. The resulting styles can be 
saved as OGC standards complient SLD/SE files.
/Cameron: Removed some words above hopefully without removing meaning./

The created SLD files are compatible with all programs which support the 
OGC SLD standard, including GeoServer, uDig and others.
/Cameron: Removed reference to Geotools related applications as users 
are unlikely to know what applications depend upon Geotools. Can you 
mention C based programs like QGis or GRASS above?/

The application provides a multitude of intuitive dialogs to simplify 
style creation. Users can apply abstract classifications like unique 
values, colored quantiles or equal distance. Additionally users have 
integrated access to an online symbol-database. Users can create and 
save symbols in the SymbolEditor and reused in classifications or other 
projects.
/Cameron: Does "drag and drop" describe functionality? If so, I suggest 
mentioning "drag and drop"/

      import their styles from ESRI Arc GIS)/
    * Fully translated into German, English, Italian and French.


      Implemented Standards¶ <cid:part4.03080305.01010306 at gmail.com>
