[Qgis-community-team] first meeting about SeasonOfDocs next week

Wed Jun 5 04:26:22 PDT 2019

I'll float motions from our video conference into separate email thread for
voting on.

Topics for discussion from this meeting:
Jared Morgan has ideas about structuring documentation. Let's discuss how
we capture this. Andrew Jeffry has written getting started suggestions.
What should we do about incorporating these? We have new volunteers, let's
discuss how to engage them effectively. We have the potential to integrate
OSGeoLive Quickstart (and maybe Project Overview) into QGIS docs. How
should we approach this? We can potentially attract external training
material into the docs. We probably won’t have time to discuss this in
depth in this meeting. (There are also others interested in this topic).
