I had some discussions about this with Tim back in September. Included in this project is the allocation of worktime to help updating the QGIS training manual to v2.0. The project is bound to start in January but I can start to work on it right away. Actually I thought a while ago about getting used to the github environment but as Johanna, I have no experience with it and got puzzled when I installed it... help with how to get started on this side would be really appreciated. On my side, I have a long experience in developing GIS training materials and teaching, past three years using QGIS. Also I use QGIS in a windows computer... how does this affect in developing the materials or using github (I heard it is not so nice in windows...).</div>

<br>
Thanks very much for the offer of assistance - it is much appreciated! We aren’t at the stage of proof-reading yet, but it won’t be long before we are, at which point I’ll certainly be in touch and will help get you up and running. Perhaps in the meantime you could give me your thoughts on the structure/content of the existing training manual (<a href="http://manual.linfiniti.com" target="_blank">http://manual.linfiniti.com</a>)?<br>
<br>
Thanks very much<br>
