    v4 v5  
    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 * (can't find list currently)
     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.

     44== Considerations ==
     45* These aren't that hard to learn
     46
     47* This will inconvenience long time user who will chronically do it the original way on their first try
     48
     49* This will break a lot of written and running scripts that will need to be changed
