[Qgis-community-team] Re: [Qgis-user] Wiki migration is done

[Agustin Lobo]

Otto,

When you make a web page the question is not whether a given feature is
odd or not to the author and/or developers but whether it make sense for 
the potential user. And it's
very clear that a tab in the main menu named "User's corner" would be
much more straightforward for a user than going through a "Wiki" tab
that is even not in the Main menu.

This is probably not important at this moment
as the info currently in the User's corner is not that critical, but I think
that the User's corner should become an important part of the QGIS support
in the future. I'm trying to re-organize my schedule so that I have time
to provide input to that section in the coming months, but this is going
to depend on whether I keep using qgis for my course next fall or switch to
gvsig. If I keep qgis for my own projects only (this is out of question, 
as manageR
is an invaluable tool for me), I'd be too taken to provide input for the 
User's Corner.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your work, the wiki is really nice and useful.

Agus
