[Qgis-user] Re: Qgis-user Digest, Vol 60, Issue 34

Sat Feb 19 10:28:07 PST 2011

Hi everyone,
I know it's a bit off topic but while reading the mr paperclip jokes I
thought that we could have a site of "recipes".
Whenever someone wanted to publish video/tutorials they could use the same
place.
Devs usually write it down on their blogs, but it would be nice to have a
singles source of user oriented tutorials.
Do the wiki already has something like this?
Best regards,
