[Gvsig_english] FEEDBACK gvSIG 1.9 (BN 1253) -- use of gvSIG in production environment

[Simon Cropper (Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd)]

Hi,

This thread has obviously touched a nerve.

The concept of a wiki is a good one as it would allow content to be 
delivered quickly.

I would also be happy to contribute towards a community managed wiki in 
English.

Maybe the base to the wiki could be the English manual currently being 
updated by the gvSIG team. If we could get the originals of the 1.1.2 
manual this could also be imported quickly. Once this is done it would 
only be a matter of identifying areas no information exists and other in 
need of serious update -- and as stated if everyone pitches in it could 
become a pseudo manual in no time.

Having contributed to a range of these things I think it important that 
a secure repository is found to house the content, there is a moderator 
ensuring only suitable content is added and that the wiki is a usable 
(you would believe some of the monstrosities I have seen that call 
themselves wiki's =-O ).

Maybe people should nominate wiki that they think work well.

Cheers Simon
