Hi John,
Thanks for offering to update the OSGeo-Live Quickstart. With your
permission I'm CCing our email list, as there are others likely to have
suggestions regarding what should be done to the qgis quickstart.
Yes, please go ahead and improve spelling/grammar as you see fit, as
well as adding a few screen shots. (Note that we are installing qgis
1.8, but 2.0 will come out for the next release). If possible, select a
screen shot which will be timeless and won't need to change between
versions.
If you are adding/deleting sections, then it would be good to run the
idea past the list first.
With regards to writing style, please follow our guidelines as per:

Hi Cameron
I'm sick at home today and taking the opportunity to pick up the
thread on the QGIS quickstart we talked about a few months back. I've
just had a look through and I'm thinking of making some edits, but
thought I'd check in with you since I am new here and want to stay
within etiquette.
Here's a rundown of what I'm thinking:
* some minor text edits to improve spelling, grammar, consistency
* add screenshots as suggested
* some minor restructuring to improve clarity (eg. make headers more
descriptive, make bullet points flow logically step-by-step)
* drop end of the PostGIS section - it is very glitchy on my
machine, I can't get it to work properly, potentially very
frustrating for a new user
I could probably add to this list but thought for now best to keep it
simple for a quick win.
What do you think, should I just go ahead and do this or is there a
better/more diplomatic approach?
Cheers
John
