I put together a preliminary table of contents for JTS, based on the
organization of the code into packages. Please take a look and let me
know what you think.

If there is interest in tackling this project, I can start us a
project on Wikibooks. I'm willing to contribute Chapter 1 and maybe
also Chapter 2. I'd also be willing to produce a PDF of the
contributed material using Scribus.

I think the license for Wikibooks is GNU FDL. If we want to use the
Creative Commons License we could host in the SurveyOS or JTS SVN
repo.
