- Satellite Imagery FAQ
- =====================
-
- Satellite Imagery for Earth Observation
-
- Last Modified: December 13th 1996:
- _The updates have been rather sporadic since September - sorry._
- * Removed apparently nonfunctional "Geoscience Journals" server;
- added some new references for journal information.
- * Chopped long and badly outdated contact list. Left in the
- reference to the original it was copied from.
- * Updated references for downloadable assessment software
- (Kappa/Entropy).
- * Various miscellaneous updates from the backlog, including Web
- references.
- * The Interactive FAQ software is now operational again at
- http://pobox.com/%7Esatfaq/ I'm looking to use it to
- 'democratise' this document (i.e. encourage direct contributions
- which will automatically ingested), but my other FAQ - which is
- much shorter and simpler than this one - is leading the way in
- terms of contents.
-
- NOTE: a server which was dead for several days appears to have killed
- November's posting - sorry. Also I've made some changes to the
- posting scripts: apologies in advance if it screws up.
