[Live-demo] [OSGeo-Standards] What should we do about OGC Standard writups on OSGeo-Live

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your response and URL. Could you please update us on current 
status and schedule for OGC documentation.

* Is the documentation at 
http://cite.opengeospatial.org/pub/cite/files/edu/index.html considered 
draft, ready for production, other?

* Is there a maintenance program in place to ensure that this 
documentation is continuously kept up to date? Eg: to update existing 
documentation whenever a new standard is published.

* It appears that the URL provided only mentions WMS KML, SLD, SE, CSW 
standards. Is there any commitment to generate documentation for other 
standards?

Warm regards, Cameron
