All,
We have had some last minute updates to the QGIS Quickstart (describing
the GRASS plugin), from non-GRASS experts.
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc/pull/117
Hopefully all is in order now. But would be great is we could get a
review from someone familiar in this area. If you could reply all to
confirm that you have reviewed, with issues identified, or to verify
everything looks ok.
Warm regards, Cameron
PS, I'm not on the GRASS email list, so please forward this email to the
grass list.
