Welcome to the wiki

Aside from some API details, the rest of this documentation is largely project management related.

API Details

• The GeoServer has a WFS with which you can interface

• The contents of the response to a WFS request are described in the Database Contents page

• When issuing WFS requests, standard WFS filter structure applies

• The WFS host is bids.state.gov, with path /geoserver/opengeo. The OGC WFS Standard Document is pretty useless in terms of clarity, so check the GeoServer WFS Reference and check out the examples below to get started.

• A couple examples:

• Here's how you get all the database in json

• Here's how you get all the database in csv

Feedback from beta testing

• As we progress through our beta testing milestones, users are encouraged to supply the project managers and developers with feedback on the site
• There are really three good ways to do this:

1. Email the feedback group with comments/questions/requests
2. Submit a bug report directly
3. Put your feedback directly on the wiki
