Thanks Felicity, comments on your first feedback:

* I like your use of a simple pull request with a reviewer and a bunch 
of comments. While clumsy, I think it is the best process for collecting 
this type of feedback.

* I like the way you are bullet pointing out suggested changes.

* I think it would be helpful to provide reasons for some of your 
suggestions, typically "in line with ..." or "to improve readability" or 
"in line with our style guide" (if we were to select a preferred style 
guide).

* I like the idea of a template quickstart, but think it should not be 
tied to a specific project. As Erin picked up in the good docs project: 
1. It implies favouritism, 2. It becomes out of date when the project 
updates. (Notably this udig quickstart is out of date, referencing an 
old version of the osgeolive release.)
