I've been looking at the GeoServer web site for a list of "what it can do".
Because I got confused about whether GeoServer could reproject rasters on
the fly.
I eventually found a "yes" in the email archives, but it would have been
handy to
see a list on the web site, pretty close to the front... I checked a number
of places,
such as the User's Guide, the FAQ... but I don't see. Can someone point me
to the
right place? Or has this page gotten lost in the reorg?

Hi Aleda,
I think a "Features" section in the documentation is a very good idea. Definitely worth a premier link on the wiki. Mike: What do you think?

Looks like it could use a serious update and more prominent link, but http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Features does exist.

Yes, that's the kind of list I was thinking of. This page doesn't seem to
show a date, although it talks of things coming in "X months". If something
like this was fairly to the front of the GeoServer web site someone who was
trying to decide whether to use GeoServer could scan this list of features
and see if it had what they needed. It would be nice to have more links
from the topics for more detail on the feature. The links could just go to
the documentation page for that feature.

Great post just in time. I just got hired for a Geowebservice
implementation for a natural resource management system and will have a
first meeting next tuesday. Now I have a list to work with what exactly
GEOS can do (already used it for my thesis).
Probably will be a PostGIS/GEOS/Drupal+Openlayers thing - at least, that
is what I am thinking of right now...
Cheers, folks!

I just updated the feature list a bit, it hadn’t seen love since right before 1.5.0, so added a few fun things. If anyone feels inclined it could use a bit more grouping and ordering, as it’s just kind of a long dump of stuff now.
And reading it right now the first bit is just a ton of acronyms, which is great for people who know the geo world really well, but will probably just scare everyone else. Oh well, I gotta run.

While I haven't yet gone through each of the bullet points, I have linked to the features page from the "What Is GeoServer?" page.
This means that a curious soul would find the main site:
read the (recently improved) into blurb, become curious, and follow the "Read More" link to here:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/What+is+Geoserver
(or the "About" link at the top)
and, once read and now very excited, follow the link at the bottom which leads them to the feature list:
http://geoserver.org/display/GEOS/Features
Hopefully that will get more eyeballs to the page, and eventually lead to fine-tuning of said page...
Thanks,
