I should have thought of that. They would make things much easier.<br><br>2. I had thought initially that they might be loitering in the osgeo tree somewhere, but I've shaken most of the branches but nothing has fallen out yet. <br><br>I have however, found them in the source tree. Does anyone know if they're out on the web already?<br>If they aren't, does anyone object if the default set start making their way slowly out onto the wiki?<br><br>-ramon.<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Mike" <mswope@gmail.com><br>To: "qgis-user" <qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org><br>Cc: custard@westnet.com.au<br>Sent: Monday, 21 March, 2011 7:19:21 AM GMT +08:00 Beijing / Chongqing / Hong Kong / Urumqi<br>Subject: Re: How do I do that on QGIS?

This goes through a list of 20 skills the author saw that was in demand from her students and other professionals. </span></font></div>
<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><br></span></font></div><div>I've thought about making a list and then starting on describing how to do this or that. I've written some howto stuff using esri sofware.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To help motivate people to create it and use it, is there a place that has png's of all the tool buttons so you can easily add them to the docs where it's needed?</div><div>For example this page </div>
