[Qgis-community-team] [Qgis-user] update QGIS user manual - contributors

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

thanks Jean Roc! I added all notes to the documentation_guidelines/README.rst
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/blob/master/source/docs/documentation_guidelines/README.rst

Alexandre, if you are already familiar with github it is perfect! And no,
there is no prefered style, Gnome would be fine.

The data used for the screemshots are in 
QGIS-Documentation/resources/en/user_manual/

Looking forward to your first pull request :)

Regards
Otto
