<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi John,<br>
Thanks for offering to update the OSGeo-Live Quickstart. With your
permission I'm CCing our email list, as there are others likely to
have suggestions regarding what should be done to the qgis
quickstart.<br>
<br>
Yes, please go ahead and improve spelling/grammar as you see fit,
as well as adding a few screen shots. (Note that we are installing
qgis 1.8, but 2.0 will come out for the next release). If
possible, select a screen shot which will be timeless and won't
need to change between versions.<br>
<br>
If you are adding/deleting sections, then it would be good to run
the idea past the list first.<br>
<br>
With regards to writing style, please follow our guidelines as
per:<br>

<div>Hi Cameron<br>
<br>
</div>
I'm sick at home today and taking the opportunity to pick up
the thread on the QGIS quickstart we talked about a few months
back. I've just had a look through and I'm thinking of making
some edits, but thought I'd check in with you since I am new
here and want to stay within etiquette.<br>
<br>
</div>
Here's a rundown of what I'm thinking:<br>
<ul>
<li>some minor text edits to improve spelling, grammar,
consistency</li>
<li>add screenshots as suggested</li>
<li>some minor restructuring to improve clarity (eg. make
headers more descriptive, make bullet points flow logically
step-by-step)</li>
<li>drop end of the PostGIS section - it is very glitchy on my
machine, I can't get it to work properly, potentially very
frustrating for a new user</li>
</ul>
<p>I could probably add to this list but thought for now best to
keep it simple for a quick win.</p>
<p>What do you think, should I just go ahead and do this or is
there a better/more diplomatic approach?</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>John<br>
