-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all,
OSGeo-Live[1] is a self-contained bootable DVD, USB thumb drive or Virtual Machine based on Xubuntu, that allows you to try a wide variety of open source geospatial software without installing anything. It is composed entirely of free software, allowing it to be freely distributed, duplicated and passed around. gvSIG is packaged at this Live DVD, I've been maintaining the install script for gvSIG for a while, an easy task thanks to the debian package version. I also created the gvSIG overview page and also translated some documents into Spanish. The point is that gvSIG lacks a good quick start document[2][3] and I'm not able to prepare it for the next release so I'm asking here if anyone wants to help creating that document. A "quick start" is a document describing for a someone that never has used gvSIG how to load some data (remote or local) and perform some simple tasks (i.e. create a thematic map, or a layout) You can see, for example the uDig quick start[4]. So, if anyone is interested about helping on this, it would be a nice contribution to the gvSIG project. I can help translating the quickstart into the markup format is needed on the project, so an ODT or HTML would be OK. Of course, you can reuse any of the existing gvSIG training materials available out there, but they have to be adapted to the OSGeo LiveDVD data to enable any LiveDVD user to follow the quick start document.
