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). -MissMJ (talk) 23:34, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
