[Qgis-community-team] Draft paper discussing QGIS docs

[Cameron Shorter]

Thanks for all the feedback over the last week or so. I've captured many 
of your comments, gone into deeper analysis, and added specific actions 
and roles.

In what I'm now calling a manifesto I’ve:
     Raised concerns about the sustainability of QGIS documentation,
     Collated observations and opinions from a diverse set of contributors,
     Described my assessment of problems, and
     Suggested strategies and priorities for moving forward, including:
         Engaging a community coordinator / evangelist,
         Defining our vision and roadmap,
         Implementing an information architecture review,
         Engaging a trained technical writer,
         Launch an initiative to target bringing external docs back into 
the core.

Feedback welcomed. I expect to do one last tweak before publishing to my 
blog.

I'm interested to know if you folks in the QGIS doc community wish to 
take this any further?
