Are you wondering what OSGeo docs would look like if they were written by a senior technical writer? Then check out the latest
OSGeoLive Quickstarts. All English Quickstarts have been reviewed and improved by Felicity Brand as part of
Google Season of Docs. We've published them in a docs only point release of OSGeoLive, version 13.1. (We've also re-introduced our presentation, thanks to bug fixes from Seth.)
What else happened with OSGeo's Google Season of Docs?
- OSGeo doesn't have a definitive glossary of terms, so we've started aggregating glossaries, which led to a bunch of OSGeo folks kicking off a GeoLexicon project.
- There were no definitive open source doc templates, so we've created them in TheGoodDocsProject.
- Another tech writer was allocated to GeoNework.
- We reviewed QGIS's doc challenges - and found a bunch of lessons which will likely be valuable for other projects too.

Felicity's report.
