[postgis-devel] PostGIS Development Roadmap

[Obe, Regina]

Speaking of documentation with figures and nice explanations. I hate to point the finger at a competitor and say - "We should be more like them", but have you seen IBM Informix Spatial Blade documentation?  That is one fine piece of work.
 
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/idshelp/v10/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.spatial.doc/spat210.htm
 
Ironically the fact that IBMs naming of functions is so close to that of PostGIS makes this documentation often times better for people wanting to learn how to use PostGIS than the PostGIS documentation itself.
 
Thanks,
Regina

looking at the DocBook documentation, including graphics is possible
(just not done in the PostGIS documentation). See the example in:
http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/graphic.html

I personally would love to see examples with figures in the documentation.
