• virtualbox_quickstart.rst
  • On linux do the following -> On Ubuntu do the following

• osm_dataset_overview.rst
  • but the maps can also be viewed, imported, or edited in many applications such as Quantum GIS, OpenLayers, -> but the data can also be viewed, imported, or edited in many applications such as :doc:qgis_overview, :doc:OpenLayers <openlayers_overview>
  • polyline, and area coverage. -> polyline, area coverage and relations.

• openjub_overview.rst

  • through integration with GRASS -> through integration with :doc:GRASS <grass_overview>
  • PostgreSQL Database tables -> PostgreSQL/PostGIS Database tables

• rasdaman_overview.rst

Corrected the virtualization quickstart based on Luca's suggestion.

Micha, Cameron advised to do those changes after the release, as the English documents are sopossed to be frozen to let the translators work.

Cheers

It's a very minor change. I don't think it will disrupt anything.

Sure!

I just wanted to note it before starting to work hard on the documents, sorry if I sounded rude :-/

• overview.rst:
  • remove "Windows and Apple Installers" because links are broken

they only conditionally exist, & we'll have to check in Alex's full-build of yesterday to see if the symlinks made it where they needed to be. That won't be in the mini build of course (where the doc building happens), so I don't know if fixing the links is technically possible.. dead links are not nice, but maybe we just say "if you have the full version of the ISO, try these links. if you have the mini version they won't work". ?

It is too much to mirror online, so a link to ​http://live.osgeo.org/installers isn't really feasible. (gpl local source hosting requirements kicks in if served al a carte instead of in with the OS distro)

thanks, Hamish
