Targeting OSGeo-Live Quickstarts for OSGeo-Live 6.5

17 November 2012

We our OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, we are hoping to bring the documentation quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through the same comprehensive review that we have done for our Project Overviews.

I see this as a 3 step process:

  1. Projects ensure their quickstarts are up to date.
  2. A non-project person, runs every step of the quickstart, and makes sure it runs ok.
  3. One of our writers reviews for readability. (I'm volunteering to be one of these people).

What I'm looking for are around 10 people who can dedicate a couple of hours over the next couple of months to run 5 or so Quickstarts and verify they are accurate and understandable. If you can help out, please contact me, or speak up on the osgeo-live email list.

I've started a review checklist, and am open to suggested improvements: http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Quickstart_Review_Checklist
