= Two weeks to write or update OSGeo-Live Quickstart documents=

''13 February 2011, sent to osgeo-live list''

We hope to have Quickstarts written and updated for all OSGeo-Live projects by 28 February (in two weeks). The Quick Start defines detailed steps, with screen shots, for a new user to run one of the application's core functions. It should be able to be run in 5 to 10 minutes.

Could each application owner, please ensure they have a Quickstart, and that the status has been moved up to "4.5draft". If you need help capturing screen shots, please ask, some of our volunteers may be able to help.


== Quickstarts with status "4.0draft" (for last release).==

Please confirm the Quickstart is still valid and has screenshots, and update [2]  if required. Update status [3] to "4.5draft" when finished.
