During my recent visit to the jpeg2RAW podcast I realized that we really could probably use an article that is written for newcomers as a guide/getting-started to editing their photos with Free Software. Something high-level enough that it can give completely new users a nice overview of how to proceed (and with what).
As such, I’m starting this post to get some feedback/help from everyone!
This is a first attempt at getting direct feedback and solicitation from everyone for an upcoming article on the main site. 
Please feel free to contribute directly to the main post by editing the wiki directly:
If you don’t see the “edit this post” button at the bottom of the post, try looking at the top of the post instead for this:
If you want to discuss something instead, please just post a reply to the thread instead.’
My idea here is to produce a nice, succinct overview article for new users to at least understand what a process might be, including which software they should consider to do some basic image processing.
What I mean by that is possibly simple development of a raw image to something that might be visually nice overall, and then possibly going into pixel-editing for touch-ups, or going directly into pixel-editing if they don’t shoot raw.
I also think some nice doodles/graphics could help to liven up the subject and add some nice images at the same time.
