"Tip of the day" in QGIS
In the commit 15199 Tim Sutton added tips shown on QGIS startup. Those tips can be enabled/disabled in the QGIS settings.
So far, the number of tips is very small — about a dozen. Anyone who wants to can submit their tips for inclusion. The requirements are simple:
- the tip should have a concise title
- brevity is the soul of wit. The content of the tip should not exceed one or two paragraphs
- only basic HTML primitives are allowed: links, lists, etc. The full list of supported tags can be found here
- the tip should be useful to as many users as possible, or describe functionality that is not obvious
A bit earlier, in commit 15195, a separate window was added with a list of organisations that supported (and support) the project financially, i.e. sponsors.
