[Chameleon] Using the Chameleon Wiki

[Darren Redfern]

Thanks for sending this message around Paul. And thanks, Liz, for starting 
the ball rolling. :-)

As Paul mentioned, we are indeed working on improvements to the Chameleon 
Wiki and the Chameleon Community in general. I gave a presentation at the 
recent OSGIS/MUM2 conference where I discussed ideas with some Chameleon 
community members. I am going to be talking to my "team" at DMS about the 
observations we all gathered at the conference, then run some ideas by the 
people here to get an idea on how *we'd* like to proceed.

But rest assured that one of the things that I learned at the recent 
conference is that the Chameleon Community (that's you) want to help build 
and structure the Community tools that are created for it. I think that's 
ideal and I'll be posting messages to this list in the coming weeks asking 
for contributions and collaboration - and sharing of information in every 
possible direction.

In the meantime, I highly endorse Liz's idea of people who want to be active 
in the community dropping their names and information at the current Wiki:

http://www.maptools.org/chameleon/wiki/

Rest assured that whatever information you put there will be used to further 
our new Community design or will end up in the "right" place in the new 
structure we all create.

I am really looking forward to the evolution of our Community and think 
we'll all see great strides forward during the coming months. :-)

Thanks.

Darren

>If anyone is interested in contributing, log into the wiki and start

>in PLAIN TEXT format and I will insert it into the wiki.  If you don't
>know where to put it, edit the main page and put a WikiWord there to
>link to your subject, save the page, then click your new link to
>generate a new page to put your stuff into.

>I'd really recommend that we keep the structure flat right now, all
