Re: [Geoserver-devel] Proposal for reorganizing Working With Data section in the User Guide
Hey Martin,
Definitely +1 on some reorganization. Perhaps the last section might be better named "Working with Cascaded Services" since "external data" could mean a lot fo things... like an external database, etc... no strong opinion there though. I am happy with whatever you come up with.

The Working with Data section in the User Guide seems to be getting a bit unwieldy. It might be nice to split it up in a way that highlights the different kinds of data: Vector, Raster, Database, and External Services.Here's a proposal for a new structure, which replaces the current section with 4 new ones:Working with Vector DataShapefileDirectory of spatial filesGMLVPFJava PropertiesPregeneralized FeaturesWorking with Raster DataArcGridGeoTIFFGTOPO30ImageMosaicWorldImageGDAL Image FormatsImagePyramidImage Mosaic JDBCOracle GeorasterCustom JDBC Access for image dataWorking with DatabasesPostGISOracleMicrosoft SQL Server and SQL AzureDB2H2MySQLTeradataArcSDEDatabase Connection PoolingSQL ViewsControlling feature ID generation in spatial databasesCustom SQL session start/stop scriptsUsing SQL session scripts to control authorizations at the database levelApplication Schema SupportJNDIWorking with External DataExternal Web Feature ServerExternal Web Map ServerThe only new content would be the index page for each new section. This will be a convenient place to put any general advice about working with the different kinds of formats (eg. links to the Styling pages for each type)Alternatively, these could be 4 subsections under the main Working With Data section, although this would require more levels on the main TOC.It might make sense for the source directory structure to mirror this organization, but this is not essential if there are issues with doing that (e.g existing URL references)Thoughts or issues with doing this?--Martin DavisOpenGeo - http://opengeo.orgExpert service straight from the developers.
