Component 2: Downloads

[jodygarnett]

Reviewing component 2 deliverables, seeking to verify the following:

3.3.2.8 Downloads (moved to resources)

• [ ] Downloads index;
• [ ] Download detail with links to project detail page

Example pages for reference:

• http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/resources/ - lack ability to provide URL restricting resource type to download
• (We lack an example of a "download" resource item)

[jodygarnett]

Much like https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/issues/153 and https://github.com/OSGeo/osgeo/issues/17 this issue could be addressed by providing a stable URL that filters by project and resource type (goal being to share a page or link that lists downloads)

[jodygarnett]

Added "content" tag as I am pretty sure if I had edit access I could make a "download" resource type and demonstrate this functionality is present.

Example resource with a download: http://osgeo.getinteractive.nl/resources/ogc-memorandum-understanding/

[jodygarnett]

I see, that is when the issue is "attached" to the website.

@jeffreylasut I think we are better served by the geoserver project page where there is a download software link meeting this requirement.

@jj0hns0n can you comment or clarify on this requirement please?

[jodygarnett]

Going to mark this as won't fix, the "solution" would be to make a resource type "download", and then allow the resource page to have a stable link for downloads, listing the latest download page for each project only.

Think we prefer to have the "Download software" link above, making this managed by each project team.
