[Qgis-user] R: QGIS 2.4 Basic Tutorial

[Michael Treglia]

HI Stefan and others,

Thanks for your thoughts and feedback!  It would definitely be great to
have a subsite on QGIS.org, dedicated to tutorials and such (you meant
separate from the Documentation page, right? Or am i misunderstanding?).

I'm sure there's a lot of duplicate work going on to develop materials for
courses/trainings around the world, so it would be great to work on this in
a collaborative context, where we might make datasets available, relevant
to specific fields of study and regions.

I'm new to working on collaborative projects like this [though I've
gratefully used products of them for years now...], and would definitely
like to contribute work I've done to the larger community. For now is the
best thing to make the materials available as I have, and let folks know
about them so they can be linked appropriately by administrators? Or is it
best to work on existing training materials through GitHub?  [Sorry if this
is a really basic question - I didn't really find any answers on the
QGIS.org "Get Involved" page, and am not sure where to get such
information].

Also, Stefan - those materials you've posted look great! The All-in-one
Project Plugin looks like it will come in handy, especially for workshops
where you may need to have users at a set starting point, with data
imported and such.

Best,
Mike
