Hi everyone,<br>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". <br>Whenever someone wanted to publish video/tutorials they could use the same place. <br>
Devs usually write it down on their blogs, but it would be nice to have a singles source of user oriented tutorials. <br>Do the wiki already has something like this?<br>Best regards,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, Feb 19, 2011 at 3:00 PM, <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:qgis-user-request@lists.osgeo.org">qgis-user-request@lists.osgeo.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Yes we need to simplifiy things down a lot for 2.0. I like the gnome<br>
approach of give simple sensible defaults and if you really want to be<br>
a geek you have to delve into gconf - rather than the kde4 approach<br>
where there are so many options and tweaks its difficult to remember<br>
what they mean and where they are in the option panels.<br>

Turn it off? Not its like hotel california....you can never leave.....<br>
<br>
Yes of course there is a handy 'don't bother me anymore' checkbox to disable it.<br>
