Jody,
Any suggestions for changes to my text, I would be happy to
consider. I hope my document will be helpful to the community.
Please
let me know if there is any other feedback you or others have.
Thank
you,
M. Ballinger
Our existing documentation is in an
open wiki; and code repository. Open
source projects do not
generally have spare volunteers to help :-)
Your
existing instructions look fine thus far; if
your shapefiles had a
sidecar "sld" file uDig would take that as the
default style (and
not trouble your users with a " probably
create a pretty ugly map").
The
closest document we have to yours is:
When
your document is complete we can of course add it to the wiki "Getting
Started"
section; and it will be included in subsequent releases of
uDig.

Dear
uDig
Community,
I am interested in
providing a tutorial that includes uDig, and I would
like to
ask
for your help. I am a masters candidate for graduation at Penn State
World
Campus with a Masters in Geographic Information Systems
degree. My
capstone
project is a Blueprint for Open Source Web
Mapping. I am creating a step
by
step outline for the public's
use to create open source web maps of a
topic of
their choice. I
would greatly appreciate feedback from you to improve my
project. I
am releasing a draft of the Blueprint at http://mballingercapstone.web.officelive.com/default.aspx. I would then hope to work with you during the
next
month to make sure the Blueprint is a valuable addition to existing
documentation.
Thank you for your consideration.
M. Ballinger
