Hi,

I've done a quick skim through the docs to determine which need 
updating. Results of my review are in our project spreadsheet,  in 
column "10.0 Doc Review" at: 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q5BaEgQtgw4O1bXyeWMlM8XtAOhUgcjZ7Y2O0FZc2H0/edit?hl=en_GB#gid=2014800150

I've added extra text to the Workshop wiki, (welcoming newbies and 
suggesting tasks)

Also listed below:

Application Id 	10.0 Doc Review
Lubuntu 	N/A
52nWPS 	Ok, check quickstart steps still work.
52nSOS 	Quickstart images to scale 70%.
cartaro 	Ok, check quickstart steps still work.
cesium 	Ok, although complexity of Quickstart very simple - could pick a 
more complex use case. Check quickstart steps still work.
deegree 	Quickstart structure not following convention. Needs Table of 
Contents, needs screenshots. May need more.
eoxserver 	Ok, check quickstart steps still work.
gpsprune 	Ok, check quickstart steps still work.
geokettle 	Ok, check quickstart steps still work.
geomajas 	Quickstart is too short and not following writing tips (in the 
udig quickstart). It needs to show how to do 1 typical task. Look at 
GeoServer quickstart for inspiration. Quite a bit of work required here.
geomoose 	Project logo is broken. Quickstart needs introduction sentence 
and TOC. Needs a "Things to try" and "What Next" section at end. See 
writing tips in Udig Quickstart.
geonetwork 	This is a bit of a mess. Project Overview image sizes are 
wrong. Logo needs to be smaller. Screen shot needs to be bigger. 
Quickstart formatting needs to be checked after run through sphinx doc 
generation (* bullet points not printing properly). Add TOC. Some images 
have lots of white space and should be trimmed. Images should be 70% 
size. Broken links in images.
grass 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
geonode 	Add "OSGeo Incubation" logo to Project Overview. Quickstart 
needs the GeoNode logo, TOC, images scaled to 70%, otherwise docs are is 
reasonable shape.
geoserver 	Ok, quickstart could add "Things to try" and "What next" 
heading at end.
gmt 	Quickstart contains very little content, and doesn't include 
standard OSGeo-Live structure. It should take one use case and show how 
to get it working, along with screen shots.
gvsig 	Ok, check quickstart steps still work. The quickstart is quite 
long, which makes it hard to maintain. If someone reworks this 
quickstart, it should be made shorter.
iris 	Quickstart only contains pointers. It needs to be written.
istsos 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
javaworldwind 	Project Overview typo: "doc: Quickstart documentation" 
should be "Quickstart documentation". Quickstart: No intro sentence, no 
"this quickstart covers" ,no TOC, no diagrams, no "What Next" heading. 
Based on these quick observations there will likely need to be review of 
other things against doc template (see writing tips in UDig Quickstart).
jupyter 	https://live.osgeo.org/en/overview/jupyter_overview.html Docs 
not linked into main page. Project Overview formatting of images not 
done properly.
kosmo 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
leaflet 	Quickstart not following standard OSGeo format. No intro 
paragraph. No TOC. No images. No "Things to Try" or "What Next" heading.
mapslicer 	Quickstart should have TOC, images scaled to 70%, use 
headings, add "What Next" heading.
marble 	Check version installed. Version reported in Project Overview is 
"15.12.3". I suspect it is "4.4.13". Quickstart layout is not following 
OSGeo-Live guidelines. Needs a Table of Contents. Scale images to 70%. 
No subheadings. No "Things to Try", "What next?". Probably more.
mapbender 	Quickstart intro is too long. It should just be a sentence, 
maybe two. No need to duplicate Project Overview. Add TOC. Scale images 
to 70%.
mapnik 	Just ok, could possibly do with screen shots if it makes sense 
to do so.
mapproxy 	Ok. Scale images to 70% in quickstart.
mapserver 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
mapwindow 	N/A
mb-system 	Quickstart could possibly be expanded, but this application 
is not as widely used as others, so less of a priority
ncwms 	Ok, quickstart could add "Things to try" and "What next" heading 
at end.
opencpn 	Quickstart could possibly be expanded, but this application is 
not as widely used as others, so less of a priority
osgearth 	Quickstart needs work. It doesn't follow standard OSGeo-Live 
guidelines as per writing tips in UDig Quickstart.
ossim 	Add TOC to Quickstart. Quickstart could potentially be expanded 
to cover a less trivial use case.
osm 	We should rethink how OSM is presented. In particular, the 
Quickstart is not following a simple use case. This is something that 
should be discussed among the OSGeo-Live contributors and Project 
Steering Commitee.
openjump 	Add a TOC to Quickstart.
openlayers 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
otb 	Add a TOC to Quickstart.
pgrouting 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
postgis 	Quickstart icon has been scaled too small. Otherwise ok. Check 
steps still work.
proj4 	See MetaCRS project.
pycsw 	Quickstart not fully in line with OSGeo-Live guide (see writing 
tips in UDig Quickstart). Intro paragraph should just be 1 sentence, not 
full copy of Project Overview intro. Remove OSGeo Project logo from 
Quickstart. Add TOC. Don't include "Installation" as it is already 
installed on OSGeo-Live. This Quickstart is possibly too long. It should 
focus on just one key use case. Add a "Things to Try" and "What Next" 
heading.
pywps 	Project Overview: Main screen shot is too small. Quickstart could 
do with some screen shots, (if you can provide screen shots of images 
such as maps which make sense).
qgis_mapserver 	Add TOC to quickstart
qgis 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
R 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
rasdaman 	Quickstart should have a TOC added. Some of the screen shot 
raw images are very large. They should be reduced to1024x768 in order to 
save disk space.
saga 	Quickstart: Add intro sentence. Add TOC
sahana 	Quickstart is too short and not following writing tips (in the 
udig quickstart). It needs to show how to do 1 typical task. Look at 
GeoServer quickstart for inspiration. Quite a bit of work required here.
spatialite 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
tinyows 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
udig 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
ushahidi 	Quickstart: Add TOC. Probably should also explain how to enter 
an event into ushahidi.
viking 	Quickstart is too short and not following writing tips (in the 
udig quickstart).
zygrib 	Quickstart could do with intro sentence, TOC, some screen shots, 
probably a bit more.
zoo-project 	Ok. Check quickstart steps still work.
