How do I contribute or improve the documentation on this site?
New documentation material and corrections to existing documentation are definitely very welcome. These contributions are handled through the same issue tracker used to track software bugs and enhancements.
Follow the directions for submitting bugs at: http://www.mapserver.org/development/bugs.html
When creating a ticket, in the Component field, select 'MapServer Documentation'. If our ticket pertains to a specific page, please include the URL to that page.
If you have tips or examples that don't really fit the definition of documentation, a good place to put them is the MapServer wiki at: http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/wiki
Very useful addition to the FAQ, in my opinion. Added for 6.0 and trunk in r12011 (I modified the title slightly).
