Software quality on our OSGeo-Live 6.5 release is looking very
promising, and starting with this release, we hope to start bringing
documentation quality up one notch, by putting the Quickstarts through
the same comprehensive review that we have done for our Project
Overviews, tracking status in ourStatus Spreadsheet
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc#gid=13>.
We see this as a 3 step process:
1. Projects ensure their quickstarts are up to date, set "Quickstart
Status"="6.5draft"
2. A non-project person, runs every step of the quickstart, and makes
sure it runs ok. set "Quickstart Status"="6.5reviewed".
3. 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.
We've started a review checklist, and am open to suggested
improvements:http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Quickstart_Review_Checklist
For the OSGeo-Live 6.5 release, we'd like to update as many Quickstarts
as we can within the next two weeks, by 4 February 2013.
