<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>great initiative </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- I like to underscribe the suggestion for some sans-serif fonts and not putting the version in the title</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>- I would also like to suggest on your very first screen capture to use an image from a "stable" version; seeing "(unstable)" on the very first image may not be the best publicity</DIV>

<DIV>Any way - great job - congrates,</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail>Thank you for your contribution, Anita!<BR><BR>I also wanted to suggest the use of sans-serif fonts. I would even go as <BR>far as only using sans-serif - also for the titles.

It ran <BR>just fine on 2000 to my surprise.

"Compile a map layout using the print <BR>composer" to avoid using printing twice and highlight the layout issue.<BR><BR>Best regards,<BR>Andreas<BR><BR>Mailing Lists wrote:<BR>> Hi Anita<BR>><BR>> Great improvements! A couple more small comments :-)<BR>><BR>> - Do we need to show the version number in the title?

I have various comments /<BR>>>> suggestions:<BR>>>><BR>>>> - In the heading I suggest to remove the third line of links (which<BR>>>> are repeated at the end of the document) and instead make the second<BR>>>> line read: "Open Source Geographical Information System -<BR>>>> <A href="http://qgis.org/" target=_blank>http://qgis.org</A>"<BR>>>><BR>>>> - I also suggest to center the second line under the part after the Q<BR>>>> logo of QGIS.<BR>>>><BR>>>> - What about moving the
screenshot on page 1 right to the start so<BR>>>> that the first thing you see when you see the doc is the QGIS title<BR>>>> and a screenie, and then the text that follows?<BR>>>><BR>>>> - could you use a sans serif font for the non heading text? Generally<BR>>>> I find serif fonts look a bit old fashioned and not as 'clean'. It<BR>>>> would be interesting to see how it looks anyway so that we can compare<BR>>>> against the current serif version you have made.<BR>>>><BR>>>> - change "Project Administrator" to "Project Chairman"<BR>>>><BR>>>> - change the link in the box at the end of the document for qgis home<BR>>>> page to <A href="http://qgis.org/" target=_blank>http://qgis.org</A><BR>>>><BR>>>><BR>>>> Great work Anita!<BR>>>><BR>>>> Regards<BR>>>><BR>>>>
