As far as I'm concerned, most of GIS related issues fit here. GIS Programming, GIS database development, GIS WebServices, GIS discussion, Cartography, Geography, etc. – George Jun 1 '10 at 21:34

Fastest Growing Proposal: Period. – Tyler Carter Jun 4 '10 at 2:38

	Agreed. It's simply too broad, and fundamentally unrelated to IS. – Adam Matan Jun 6 '10 at 15:39
	But a very cool question... – Hanno Fietz Jun 8 '10 at 22:15

pirating. should not be allowed. – George Jun 2 '10 at 17:28

You can guarantee someone's going to ask a similar question at some point though! – Ti M Jun 2 '10 at 17:31

That's for sure. – George Jun 2 '10 at 17:40

Most commercial GIS systems have free demo / limited downloads for free - a link to these would be a good answer. – geographika Jun 3 '10 at 19:40

	I think it's in, because such config's are not simple. On linux server, you'll have to choose the good pair kernel-filesystem, for example... – Agemen Jun 3 '10 at 6:59
	I think this is more to do with sys admin than GIS, I'm inclined to give it a no. – Ti M Jun 3 '10 at 10:17
	'images'? map tiles? your photo's? icons? its very general and not specific to GIS. more serverfault for configuring a web server. – Steve Jun 3 '10 at 10:44
	I'd say this is in because it would/could be tied to Image Server, MapServer, GeoServer or any other server side tech that's reading a large stack of source images. – Dave Bouwman Jun 3 '10 at 20:02
	This should be in, like dbouwman said. – George Jun 6 '10 at 2:54

More specifically, If I create an ArcSDE View based on a layer with an SDO geometry how do I correct my Oracle Layer Spatial Index so that my ArcSDE View displays faster. – DominicDoiron Jun 4 '10 at 11:40

Oh, I thought you needed to take it to the vet. – bmargulies Jun 5 '10 at 14:51

why is this off-topic??? oracle spatial is not part of GIS world??? – George Jun 9 '10 at 14:06

I think it's NaGE: on topic, but maybe would give an impression that software use questions were what the site is about. We'd do better to move the off-topic votes to area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1425/… – Charles Stewart Jun 10 '10 at 11:38

How can it not be about software use? – MarkJ Jun 13 '10 at 17:39

I don't think is is off-topic. Metadata generation is a big part of GIS work. Actually most of SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure) organizations around the globe focus alot on metadata. – George Jun 6 '10 at 18:09

What's the purpose of the question? Is the op. seeking information, or trying to insight an argument.. and is this a criticism of GIS software in general, or an annoyance with a particular product? I don't think this is a good example question in it's current form. – Ti M Jun 7 '10 at 23:02

In that I agree. – George Jun 8 '10 at 21:58

I think all geocaching questions should be offtopic. Maybe a separate stack-exchange for geocaching? It is not related to GIS practice, although GIS questions for use with Geocaching should be okay, "e.g. how can i display these gps points on a printed map"? or something. – fmark Jun 5 '10 at 2:08

	support question or read the manual – iant Jun 3 '10 at 15:45
	I'd be inclined to agree, unless the question were to be rephrased to ask about a more specific set of circumstances using MapInfo 6.5. Seems similar to area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1425/… which has been voted as off-topic. – Ti M Jun 3 '10 at 16:17
	be more specific in the subject of the question – mdsumner Jun 5 '10 at 2:22
