C1: Home (Draft)
deegree is open source software for spatial data infrastructures and the geospatial web. deegree includes components for geospatial data management, including data access, visualization, discovery and security. Open standards are at the heart of deegree. The software is built on the standards of the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the ISO Technical Committee 211. It includes the OGC Web Map Service (WMS) reference implementation, a fully compliant Web Feature Service (WFS) as well as packages for Catalogue Service (CSW), Web Coverage Service (WCS) and Web Processing Service (WPS). Since 2000 deegree has been developed by lat/lon, with the strong intention to make it a community-driven project. A major step to this effect was the acceptance to be an OSGeo project in 2010. Today, deegree is maintained by several organisations and individuals with a large user base all around the world.

In order to clarify what we currently offer for download (and participation), I would suggest to consider splitting the text in two paragraphs: 1. General info on deegree, 2. Info on deegree webservices: "The deegree webservices suite offers advanced implementations of OGC web services. It contains the OGC Web Map Service (WMS) reference implementation ..." |

I wonder if the second sentence "deegree includes components for geospatial data management, including data access, visualization, discovery and security." could be more clear. Do people undertand this or get confused? IMHO, the terminology is a bit vague: What exactly is "geospatial data management"? And which security components can we offer at the moment (deegree 3)? |

I would suggest to consider integrating a "News block" into the Welcome page, similar to http://www.hibernate.org. This usually contains a link to the full News page. Maybe a main navigation link is not necessary right away. The less, the better. Especially when we don't know how many updates there will be. However, I strongly recommend to have a news entry for every (even maintenance) release, including a changelog. |
