If I'm understanding correctly, you're proposing that the explanations
etc be hosted online? From what I've picked up reading the lists and
elsewhere, QGIS is used in quite a few instances in locations where
internet access is lacking or merely unreliable. I think any
help/explanation should be integrated and distributed with the software.
Good point. Not necessarily, a get started text could be saved in the
metadata as well. Or alternatively an html folder structure.
Or maybe a combination of on- and offline, so as long as the plugin is
not installed, it would be loaded on-demand, so we don't need to
transfer everything everytime we check for updates, but as soon as the
plugin is installed it is loaded offline for machines without internet
access.
But these are just ideas, I don't have any strong opinion about this (yet).
So I would not say "anything to fix that" is a good approach
A poor choice of words on my part. Obviously a good fix is preferable
to. :-)
No worries, I just want to be sure we don't need to switch methods again
in a couple of months ;-)
