[Shake-dev] ShakeMap Manual Revision

[C. Bruce Worden]

Dear ShakeMap users, operators, & developers, 

We’re pleased to announce a significant update to the original Wald et al. (2005) ShakeMap Manual. The new  ShakeMap <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/>® <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/> Manual <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/> (Worden & Wald, 2016) is online & will be updated continuously. A PDF version <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/introduction.html> of this manual is also available.

The online ShakeMap Manual <applewebdata://8FF00B61-FC9E-488E-A0E9-12DFDC29D7F3/We%20will%20followup%20with%20links%20to%20ShakeMap%20V4%20github%20repository%20so%20you%20can%20catch%20up%20with%20or%20participate%20in%20ShakeMap%20V4%20development.We%20will%20followup%20with%20links%20to%20ShakeMap%20V4%20github%20repository%20so%20you%20can%20catch%20up%20with%20or%20participate%20in%20ShakeMap%20V4%20development.http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/> documents the current version of ShakeMap (V3.5). Those interested in understanding how ShakeMap works can navigate to the Technical Guide <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/technical_guide.html#technical-guide>. Those who want to use ShakeMap products & understand their varied forms can jump to the User’s Guide <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/users_guide.html#users-guide>. If your goal is to install and operate ShakeMap, see the Software & Implementation Guide <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/software_guide.html#software-guide>. The Software & Implementation Guide <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/software_guide.html#software-guide> also points users to the ShakeMap software distribution and Software Guide <http://usgs.github.io/shakemap/_static/SoftwareGuideV3_5.pdf>. We are in the initial stages of developing ShakeMap V4 (pyShake). Ultimately, for ShakeMap V4, the Software Guide will be incorporated into the Manual; for now, it remains a separate document. 

As a continuous work-in-progress, we welcome your feedback, comments, & input. For example, updates will be provided over the next few months about regional operations, a section that is currently in incomplete. We will followup later with links to ShakeMap V4 github repository so you can catch up with or participate in ShakeMap V4 development.

Regards,
