[postgis-devel] Issue 52 in postgis: Link SRID word to Wikipedia article about SRID

[Kevin Neufeld]

What about adding a section to the Spatial_Ref_Sys table description in 
ch 4.2.1 
(http://postgis.refractions.net/documentation/manual-svn/ch04.html#id3019787) 
listing/describing a few commonly used SRIDs.  Then, whenever we use an 
SRID in an example, we can link to it here.  (Additionally, the ST_SRID 
and ST_SetSRID sections should have a See Also link here for further 
reading).  If we want, we can have a Related Reading section in 4.2.1, 
listing links to wikipedia, spatialreference.org, and the like.

Personally, I like the idea of linking to a description of an SRID 
directly in an example.

Cheers,
Kevin
