[SeasonOfDocs] [OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive QGIS Quickstart draft

[matteo]

Hi Andrew,


> Regarding the draft, I put together:
> 
>   * I agree it is absolute beginner-focused, as I thought that was the
>     audience of OSGeolive. I can remove the basic content to address the
>     feedback now that I know it is assumed that the users are familiar
>     with GIS applications.

+1

>   * I removed the PostGIS chapter because the connection details are not
>     configured in the OSGeoLive 13 image. I asked the OSGeoLive mailing
>     list if anyone was working on the issue and it doesn't appear that
>     anyone is. We could rework this chapter to have the user configure
>     the connection settings?

if section is addressed to a beginner user, than I'll drop the database
connection part

>   * I removed the GRASS plugin section because when I worked through
>     that section on the OSGeoLive 13 image the data wouldn't load as
>     instructed. I'll try it again and see how I go, but if someone else
>     could also check that workflow it would be great just to confirm or
>     debunk my claim. Also, something I found odd is that the GRASS
>     section is the most detailed section of the guide and it showcases
>     more of the GRASS features rather than QGIS features.

+1

>   * I removed the Processing toolbox and OpenStreetMap section due to
>     the size of the document. These can be replaced.

+1 actually the method to download OSM data is not the same in QGIS 3
(replaced by the QuickOSM plugin)

Cheers
