I have a bit of a start (the first two bits) sitting on my computer at home. But wanted to ask what the best way of presenting this was. I had thought (like Richard) that a wiki-style thing (perhaps a little bit of the User's Corner?) could be a good place for this. Then if others felt like completing a bit of one of the tasks they could add that in easily. Alternatively I could ask people to email bits they've done to me and construct a latex/pdf document that can be put up somewhere in documentation. Do either of these sound sensible? Are there better ways? Should I go away and pester the documentation people? -ramon. _______________________________________________ Qgis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
