We hope to have Quickstarts written and updated for all OSGeo-Live 
projects by 28 February (in two weeks). The Quick Start defines detailed 
steps, with screen shots, for a new user to run one of the application's 
core functions. It should be able to be run in 5 to 10 minutes.

Could each application owner, please ensure they have a Quickstart, and 
that the status has been moved up to "4.5draft". If you need help 
capturing screen shots, please ask, some of our volunteers may be able 
to help.


Quickstarts with status "4.0draft" (for last release).
===============================
Please confirm the Quickstart is still valid and has screenshots, and 
update [2]  if required. Update status [3] to "4.5draft" when finished.
