Hi Mattea,

I am, and I'm in the workshop area now.

Yep, let's just plan a meeting, maybe Thursday morning?

After showing somebody the trick to write some docs I'm even more
convinced that we REALLY REALLY need the help of developers.
I do  not want to point to somebody, but just open some of the doc
writer issues:

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/milestone/10

then try to place yourself in the shoes of a (less technical) doc writer
and try to figure out what is meant by the short sentence OR what
exactly is build... OR how to create a quick screenshot (without the
sometimes specially prepared data the developer had).

I do not want to sound negative, but I think it's almost not doable.

Doc writer really need more help/information/screenshots to get going.

But let's discuss in the meeting (but I hope also some devs read this :-) )

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
