[Qgis-community-team] Documentation - Data Capture - Shapefile to GeoPackage

[Tim Sutton]

Thanks Jeff and Shilo


If you submit a PR Shilo, pop me a note, I will be happy to review it. That book was written a loooong time ago when GeoPackage was still a speck in someone’s imagination :-) Glad you are still finding it useful.

Regards

Tim

It would be nice to see this article updated to use the GeoPackage by default so new users understand that there is a push to move away from Shapefiles.
