hackathon", aimed squarely at bringing OSGeo-Live documentation
quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through the same
comprehensive testing and review that we have provided for our
Project Overviews. (Credit to Javi and the OSGeo-Live Spanish
community for suggesting the initiative).</p>
