Editors Corner

This space serves as a reference for programmers using GeoTools. A User Manual is available as an introduction, and a Developers Guide for programmers wishing to improve the Geotools library itself.

Progress

• GEOTOOLS:Fix the Docs
• Docs: 3 issues

• Demos: 0 issues

Writing Guidelines:

Content:

• Target audience is a programmer
• Don't explain GeoSpatial concepts, link to javadocs or wikipedia
• Developers are encouraged to answer geotools-user questions with a wiki page
• supported modules and plugins will have user documentation, even just one wiki page with an example

Details:

• Use parent/child relationships for table of contents
• Use a number to start your page name for order
• Provide definitions as child pages of Glosary
• InkScape preferred for digrams (attach svg and png to page)

Notes:

• Manual
• Navigation
