To edit a page on Confluence, you just click on the Edit tab that is located below the title of the page.
You will see: View *Edit* Attachments(0) Info

It will probably make you register an account (it is free and easy, no spam).
I think you can register on the top right corner of the screen.

Good feedback Efren,

It will be nice to have links to specific documentation for each
external service (Postgis, oracle...). Right now we have an empty
tutorial page for PostGIS,
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOSDOC/User+Tutorial+PostGIS . Would
you be able to paste some useful links and notes there? Even just the
stuff you have in this e-mail.

I am hoping that for the release 'sanity check walkthrough', that all
RDMS' are already set up and opperating on a central server. Just so
that the release testing can go smoothly. We hope to have several data
sources: PostGIS, maybe Oracle.

Brent,

Which ever format is chosen for the tutorial, the RDMS setup has to come
first since WFS relies on it. For instance,
is one chooses PostgreSQL, then one should put:

1. Server runtime-environment (e.g.,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/runtime.html)
2. Database users and priviledges (e.g.,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/user-manag.html)
3. Client authentication (e.g.,
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/user-manag.html1)
4. PostGIS installation

The reason being some folks don't want the RDMS in the same box as the Web
Container for security reasons, etc., and the RDBMS is not localhost.

Efren

TOPP will hopefully have a server up and running soon, where we can host
some test databases/tables. This will help us focus the testing just on
Geoserver and not on setting up a test environment.

The tutorial should definitely include deployment to different servers
such as Tomcat. I want to make sure it hits the basic user's tutorial,
and then goes into more detail and covers a larger range of topics.

I started a page for it:
http://docs.codehaus.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=35873
It would be great if people could jot down topics for testing, or even
add tutorials. It would help a lot, even if it is just a layout for a
tutorial.

Justin,

As a user/developer of Geoserver I think this would be the logical
     

sequence

of events:

1. Install PostGIS or GIS extension to your RDBMS of choice.
2. Setup databases and relation(s) to hold FeatureTypes instances.
3. Build/distribute Geoserver to Tomcat webapps dir.
4. Start and configure Geoserver (e.g., create namespace(s), create
DataStore(s), create FeatureType(s), etc.)
5. Setup cite test suite (Optional)

v/r,
Efren

I think this is a great idea.

For our regular full releases, I was thinking we should have a series of
walkthroughs so we can get a third party to go through the use of
geoserver and detect if anything has been messed up. I noticed UDig does
this and I think it has helped them. It will also be a good way to
constantly improve on our docs, and get direct feedback quick. It could
be an expanded user guide.
Ideas?
