We see this as a 3 step process:

Review process:
−
# Projects ensure their quickstarts are up to date, set "Quickstart Status"="6.5draft"

* http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Quickstart_Review_Checklist
−
# A non-project person, runs every step of the quickstart, and makes sure it runs ok. set "Quickstart Status"="6.5reviewed".
 
−
# One of our writers reviews for readability. (I'm volunteering to be one of these people). Set "Quickstart Status"="6.5final".
 
  
−
We're looking for are around 10 people who can dedicate a couple of hours over the next couple of months to run a few 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.

Please let me know if you would like to join us, and I'll make sure to look out for you. Depending on numbers, we might also set up a Google Hangout.

We've started a review checklist, and am open to suggested improvements:

OSGeo-Live Quickstart 48 hour Hackathon

25 January 2013

We are organising an "OSGeo-Live Quickstart 48 hour hackathon", aimed squarely at bringing OSGeo-Live documentation quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through the same comprehensive testing and review that we have provided for our Project Overviews. (Credit to Javi and the OSGeo-Live Spanish community for suggesting the initiative).

The Hackathon will kick off with a one hour IRC meeting with everyone, followed by a 48 hour round the clock hangout, with people dropping in where appropriate for their timezone and work/family schedules.
