I've edited the introduction and broke up the article into sections that should make it easier to navigate. I'm going to go ahead and download QGis and use it to get a better idea of what the rest of the tutorial is talking about. A suggestion I already have: it would be good to have either (1) a section that has screenshots of just the icons/toolbar explaining what each icon is (making it easier for someone to find an icon when it's referenced in the tutorial) '''or''' (2) an obvious highlighting of an icon in a full window screenshot when it's being referenced in a step. If (1) is implemented, it could be a "Get to know the interface" step, and could also include the buttons in the properties window (since it's later used to load color). -[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 23:34, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
:Almost done! Just need to deal with the "Print composer" section. Hopefully by the end of this week! (FYI: I can translate from French to English, if needed, once I'm done copyediting.) -[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 23:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
== Mapcolors ==
Okay, so I have a minor nitpick about the mapcolors section. Mainly: what it's describing isn't actually loading color maps (although that's part of it) but '''loading layer styles.''' Color maps can be part of a layer style file, but I think a layer style file can also include information for the other tabs in the ''Layer Properties'' window. If we really want to be correct about what we're saying there, we really should be showing people how to load '''color map files''', which are '''.txt''' (I'm not sure what format the data take in that txt though). In the ''Colormap'' tab, there's two icons in the top right: ''Load color map from file'', and ''Export color map to file''. Those are technically what need to be used to load in and save mapcolors. -[[User:MissMJ|MissMJ]] ([[User talk:MissMJ|talk]]) 23:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
