[OSGeoLive] [SeasonOfDocs] OSGeoLive QGIS Quickstart draft

[Ori Gudes]

It looks good!

I agree the Connect to a PostGIS spatial database can be included in more advanced material. There are a lot of other tutorials that we can add. However, data manipulation would be one of the first.

Hello Andrew,

thanks for rewriting the QGIS documentation.

It looks good.

Is it usual to summarize at each chapter what you learned?
in the document it says:
Congratulations. You can now open QGIS and understand the components of
the interface.

You added some chapters at the beginning for absolute beginners. Maybe
we often start and presume that people know more already.
But still Maybe we can skip the welcome screenshot and text about it.

Looks like the following chapters from the current documentation are
missing in your new one. Do you still plan to work on them? I think they
are a bit advanced and very interesting for non beginners:
Connect to a PostGIS spatial database
Using the GRASS Toolbox
Using the Processing Toolbox
Importing OpenStreetMap data


What Next?
it is missing - we recommend some ideas for the next steps

As Cameron referred to our docu-template. That is how we did it till
now. But we can improve the template with the ideas from Seasonof Docs
