== MJ clean up ==
=== Copy-editing + improvement === 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)
::Right ! The topbar is organized in subsets. And the QGis 1.7 is just out (some days ago), so that's the perfect moment to shoot the topbar, the subset, and add numbers to them. So these images may be reuse. within the tutorial. Thanks for your topbar screenshoot, good addition ; ) [[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><font style="color:green;">(talk)</font></small>]] 04:35, 21 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)
:Miss, I spent too much time on it, I'm exhausted with QGis. I take a break of it for some times. Good luck~ [[User:Yug|Yug]] [[User talk:Yug|<small><font style="color:green;">(talk)</font></small>]] 12:33, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

::and complex layer style files. I think it's still worth to rather teach to load '''layer style file''', since vector layers have complex styles & style files, but not these easier 'map color'.
::The tutorial currently just work with raster using mapcolor, that's true. But I'm collecting on my PC a nice, wikipedia friendly set of GIS vector files (see [[Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Resources/Gis_sources_and_palettes|our GIS sources]]) and layer styles to output ___location maps within 5 minutes. So learn how to load a layer style is still very need. Seems it is need to change our wording from colormap to layer style. You are right.

;Pathway style
MissMJ, I think it's better to keep the action's pathway directly such : ''GIMP > Layer > Duplicate layer (Ctrl+Shift+D)''. Convert them into English is I think confusing, since the user will have to translate back into the real-strict pathway "''GIMP > Layer > Duplicate layer (Ctrl+Shift+D)''".
