GeoRSS Wiki

[Andrew Turner-8]

There seems to be some good discussion beginning again on finishing up
some very long running threads. Also - some of you have noticed that
the current site has had "issues". Drupal is quite powerful, but with
power comes much maintenance and administration.

Therefore, Mikel and I migrated the site to a MediaWiki install - but
wanted to get feedback from the community before switching over the
main site.

You can see it here: http://georss.org/wiki/

I have made an effort to retain the original URL for pages that
existed on the original site and then the Drupal site. (e.g.
http://georss.org/wiki/simple and http://georss.org/wiki/gml)

Also - to better manage the XML schemas, I created a Subversion
repository that tracks changes and is easier to maintain/update the
site. http://svn.georss.org/schema/

The goal is to make the ease of collaboration, information gathering,
and progress of the format easier, while also decreasing the required
administrative overhead. Please let me know what you think and if this
is an acceptable replacement for the current GeoRSS.org site.

many thanks,
Andrew

Thanks to you and Mikel for working on this, and for posting the  
corrected schemas. We should probably have some discussion  
(metadiscussion?) about refactoring, to distinguish better the model,  
the encodings (xml, owl, rdf-a, rpn, etc.), the "practices" such link  
schemes, the cookbook (use cases / examples / case studies), the  
schemas (what is a unified GML profile schema again?), and the  
proposals (e.g. georss:alternateUniverse).

As a wiki - it's free to edit. I think especially, as you pointed out,
the Encodings and Examples/cookbook are way past due.

Let's give it a week for everyone to take a look, and raise any objections? We should keep the old site around for a bit, for reference in case we missed anything.

For the schemas and the existing namespace uri (http://www.georss.org/georss), let's set up redirects. We should at least make sure the namespace uri links to something useful.
