[Qgis-user] Publish a book about the optimal use of QGIS

[Werner Macho]

Well

I guess there is no "optimal" use of QGIS. Everyone has other
priorities and everyone is using QGIS in other ways.
So unless you are not writing a book for your own usecase I guess
there will never be THE book for you.
Information about howto use and optimal workflows for different things
will always be cluttered in different books or in the net.

The Documentation is there and (I hope) it covers all of the core
functionality of QGIS. The way you assemble this functionality is
completely in your hand.

Speking specifically from "where to download shapefiles" - There is a
lot of open data available .. too much to for one book. And for some
information you will find literally NO open data (unfortunately).
There is no "golden way" for that. (Beside that - downloading data is
very country specific).

Sorry to say that.

But there is light.. If you have any specific question - just ask here
on the mailing list and I am sure you will get some answers (for your
book :) )

kind regards
Werner
