The APRS spec document "APRS101.PDF" is obsolete and contains
incorrect information. One of those bits of incorrect information
happens to be related to area objects, exactly the issue I griped
about yesterday in the Area-Objects page.
Turns out Xastir *IS* spec-compliant, but to the "1.1 addendum" of the
spec. The "1.1 addendum" is just a web page of rambling text
documents from Bob Bruninga's old web site. You have to read that
stuff, not just rely on the PDF spec.
Yeesh.
Fortunately, John Langner has a repo where he is working on collecting
all of those addenda into an updated spec document.
Link there.
Move "Configure-Xastir" to "File-Configure", clean up operating pages
"Configure-Xastir.md" was not about configuring Xastir, it was
documentation of the File->Configure menu. This was a misleading name
and caused more than one person confusion in writing documentation and
linking to it (me included, after a long night of pounding out
documentation).
I renamed it to something that actually reflects the contents of the
file, "File-Configure.md"
Cleaned up the Operating Quickstart and Operating pages to make them
not say things like "we should document that" when we in fact are
documenting it already.
Added text and links concerning using the map window in the Operating
page.
Move some stuff around in sidebar. Get quick start right after installation, put menus under quick start and not "Configuration". Some filenames are poorly chosen and don't reflect what's actually in them. Make the link reflect it instead.
Move some items, change indent levels. Weather station information doesn't belong in the list of Interface Menu items. Many of the map bullets do not belong as sub-bullets of the Mapping Overview page
That stuff is already in the System-Specific-Install-Notes page.
Having too much detail in the sidebar means the sidebar has to edited
all the time and it'll be a maintenance headache.
