    v5 v6  
    3535There are some things that can be hard when starting on gdal and are frequently on the mailing list.  Here is a starter list, if those types of changes are being considered.
    3636
    37 * Standardize command names.  Some are gdal_command others are gdalcommand
    38 
    39 * Running gdalinfo --formats should list the formats is some meaningful order.  On linux I can | grep 'format name' or sort or various other things to make it useful.  On Windows, I copy the result into notepad and then search (although more recently I installed gnuwin32).  Sort of nice that a report on supported formats is so numerous as to be a problem.
    40 
    41 * Coordinate order of [-projwin ulx uly lrx lry] makes sense if you think of it as a picture with 0,0 starting in the upper left.  Many geospatial people have been trained to think of the 'proper' coordinate order differently.  There is unlikely to be much agreement on this item so it may be best left alone.
