can't get people to give the program a try. Still the

<div>Hi all, </div>
<div>I completely agree. First of all, this is a marketing and
communication problem starting from languages and imho from
a very old style (and difficult to navigate) official
website.</div>
<div>Obviously Sextante migration to qgis confused users even
more.</div>

Regarding documentation, this is a problem that we as a community
have to face. I mean, the idea of "gvSIG has no good docs, ­­«they»
need to improve it" is not really constructive in a free software
project. Everyone is welcomed to write or improve the documentation
and the gvSIG team is there to happily coordinate. gvSIG is a huge
software with hundreds of screens and procedures to document. This
is not a task to two or three people that also have to take care of
other also important tasks.<br>
<br>
I don't want to go to the typical free software rant of "you don't
like something? don't complain, fixing is it up to you" but at some
level I insist, this is a responsibility for all of us.<br>
<br>
Just for the shake of recognition, the gvSIG quickstart[1] written
by Simon for the OSGeo Live was a good example of contribution to
the project in coordination with the gvSIG team (through myself as a
gvSIG contact at the OSGeo Live project). The quickstart has been
translated into six different languages, by the way.<br>
