Hi Anita
Great improvements! A couple more small comments :-)
- Do we need to show the version number in the title? If we leave it
out it will require less maintenance to keep the document current.
Ok, removed it.
- Do you have verdana / vermana or arial font on your system? The sans
serif font is definately better but now for me the document is looking
a little horizontally squashed with the one that you are using...
Next version is in Verdana.
- in the final block with urls, could you bold the 'header' words and
colons on the left to visually separate the item name from the item
details?
Hm, for me they show in bold ... anybody having the same problems with
version 1?
- I suggest to remove the "- ..." entry from the plugins list and / or
change it to read "- and many others"
Done.
- In platform support I guess we should change "windows xp" to
"windows" since AFAIK it will work on new (and older probably)
versions of windows too.
Done.
Regards
Tim

Thank you for your contribution, Anita!
I also wanted to suggest the use of sans-serif fonts. I would even go as
far as only using sans-serif - also for the titles. But of course this
is only my personal taste.
I put everything to Verdana now. Only thing I left serif is the main
title, because it wouldn't fit to the icon at all to have it sans serif.
I personally like the MS Trebuchet, the Myriad and the Frutiger fonts.
Let me know if you need one of those fonts to try them out.
Well, I guess Verdana is ok.
As far as Windows is concerned: I was successfully using QGIS on Windows
2000, since my employer just recently switched from 2000 to XP. It ran
just fine on 2000 to my surprise. So yes, I would make it "Windows"
without a particular version.
Done.
Regarding the vector format support I would also add SpatiaLite - it is
one of the first GIS supporting this useful alternative. I see there is
still room on the line before the ... ;-)
Oh, how could i forget this ... Done.
Maybe one could consider changing the text "Compile a map for printing
using the print composer" into "Compile a map layout using the print
composer" to avoid using printing twice and highlight the layout issue.
Good solution. Done.
Best regards,
Andreas

Hi Anita,
great initiative
- I like to underscribe the suggestion for some sans-serif fonts and not
putting the version in the title
Done.
- I would also like to suggest on your very first screen capture to use
an image from a "stable" version; seeing "(unstable)" on the very first
image may not be the best publicity
Well, the brochure is intended for version 1.1 and 1.1. is named unstable
... I could cut the title bar off ;)
Any way - great job - congrates,
Stefaan

Dear Anita and all others,
choosing a font should not be a question of taste but of adequateness
for the purpose. Sans-serif fonts are better readable on screen, because
the serifes produce some gray "noise" at the ends of the signs. Serifes
improve readability when printed out because they make the words appear
more as a unit. Have a look in any book from a decent publisher in your
shelf! So the choice is a question of you wanting to distribute the
brochure as a handout or via web.
Most people won't print it out I guess. So Verdana should be ok.
just my two cents
Bernhard Ströbl
Regards,
Anita
