Add this gist info about switching geoconnect servers:

I just discovered that there is a ton of end user documentation already at http://worldmap.harvard.edu/static/docs/WorldMap_Help_en.pdf which is linked from http://worldmap.harvard.edu as "Need Help?" Here's a screenshot:

We should at least link to this resource. Right now http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/user/data-exploration/worldmap.html is quite sparse and there are no screenshots.

Update: see also this issue I opened: WorldMap Help PDF is out of date with regard to production bug in Harvard Dataverse · Issue #227 · cga-harvard/cga-worldmap

@raprasad The gist info you linked in your earlier comment seems like it'd fit more in the Installation Guide than the User Guide. Does this ticket include both, or am I focusing only on the User Guide?

Edit: Checked in on this, this ticket includes both.

Recommendations from @raprasad and @pdurbin to include links to:

• https://github.com/IQSS/geoconnect/blob/master/heroku_setup.md (Installation)
• https://github.com/IQSS/geoconnect/blob/master/local_setup.md (Developer)

Added Geoconnect info to Admin, Developers and Installation guides. Reviewing with team.

Added user guide for Geoconnect. Awaiting review by @raprasad to ensure that I got all the technical details correct.

I just finished proofreading the Admin, Developer, and Installation guides. Lookin' good!

Notes for admin, installation, and developer guides: https://gist.github.com/raprasad/a0bf36cd08ece1b282eb14ce0ba2a9b2

Note for user guide: https://gist.github.com/raprasad/8c34c6ee8b5c5bf5e227747775341e78

I just made some improvements in aea9ccf and left a review in pull request #3792 but I'll repeat the feedback here.

Great work. Much improved from what's in production now.

User Guide

What percentage of users are going to be viewing maps versus creating them? My guess is that more people will be viewing maps since you don't even need to create a Dataverse account to view a map. You just click the button on the dataset or file page. Given this, before we even talk about creating maps, can we have a short section on viewing maps?

Maybe some tips on finding maps to look at as well.

Admin Guide

In the Geoconnect README we say, "You should wait until the WorldMap rewrite is complete before considering installing Geoconnect." Should we explain on this page that people installing Dataverse are welcome to use the two servers below that are hosted by Harvard?

Dev Guide

All of this detail here and below about Geoconnect is great but I'm thinking we should have a separate page for it. This page is getting long and the focus should be about setting up a development environment, not a relatively deep dive into a specific feature. I would suggest following the pattern established by UNF, which is even split into multiple pages:

• http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/developers/unf/index.html
  • http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/developers/unf/unf-v3.html
  • http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/developers/unf/unf-v5.html
  • http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.6.1/developers/unf/unf-v6.html

I don't think we want all that detail about UNF on this "Development Environment" page.

I ran a build so you can see my changes immediately at http://guides.dataverse.org/en/3643-geoconnect-guide/user/data-exploration/worldmap.html but builds continue to run every hour.

Revisions to Geoconnect documentation in Developer Guide, moved most info into new Geospatial Data pg.

@dlmurphy thanks for corresponding with @bglewis about the WorldMap PDF at cga-harvard/geonode#227
