Again with the help of Jody, we have defined the OSGeo Live Quick Start 
template which I'm hoping most applications will follow.

These quick starts are aimed to help a new user try the application for 
the first time and should describe how to run one core function from an 
application in ~ 5 minutes.

How to write the Quick Start is described here:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Application_Quick_Start

An example Quick Start source is here:
https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/quickstart/udig_quickstart.rst

I've attempted to make it very easy to write these docs by providing 
lots of comments and tips. So I'm hoping most projects can create these 
documents relatively easily.

We have a documentation freeze in just over a week, so now is the time 
to write Project Overviews (mandatory) and Project Quick Starts (highly 
desirable)
