[gdal-dev] Motion: approve use of GDAL Sponsorship Program funds for 2 documentation contributors

[Even Rouault via gdal-dev]

Hi,

Seth Girvin (https://github.com/geographika) and Harrissou Sant-anna 
(DelazJ) are interested in contributing improvements to the GDAL 
documentation, one of the most recurring item where enhancements are 
wished from the feedback we got through the User Survey last November. 
Both have experience on documentation of open source geospatial software 
(respectively on Mapserver for Seth and QGIS for Harrissou) and are 
excited to bring it to GDAL. This is understood this will be a small 
part time activity for both of them. Dan Baston has kindly agreed to 
supervise their work, regarding initial setup, review of pull requests 
and filing in documentation tickets for planned tasks in the issue 
tracker. We will also welcome Seth and Harrissou inputs.


A non-exhaustive list of the potential different activities is:

- Adding more examples to existing documentation (typically for command 
line utilities)

- Systematic addition of docstrings for Python API
- Adding tutorial-like material (with graphics when appropriate), 
illustrating workflows that can combine several tools to produce a 
desired outcome
- Adding a user-focused, example-driven introduction to the project on 
gdal.org and github.com/OSGeo/GDAL, ala README of 
https://github.com/qgis/qgis
- Harmonization of presentation of existing documentation / making it 
more easy to find content
- Hierarchisation of content in existing documentation. For popular 
tools or drivers, it could probably be interesting to have "basic" and 
"advanced" sections (typically for the GeoTIFF page that could/should 
probably be split)


Motion: approve use of up to 25,000 euros for Seth Girvin and up to 
25,000 euros for Harrissous Sant-anna from the GDAL Sponsorship Program, 
for the period April 1st 2025 - March 31st 2026, on documentation 
enhancements for GDAL.

- Hierarchisation of content in existing documentation. For popular tools or 
drivers, it could probably be interesting to have "basic" and "advanced" 
sections (typically for the GeoTIFF page that could/should probably be split)
