Hi all,
I agree with Otto, that work shouldn't be done twice.
I updated the 2.8 until today . Actually when having a look at the
developers commits (for example on the Manual Tasks List) new features
in the Print Composer have to be inserted and Features described on
http://changelog.linfiniti.com/qgis/version/2.8/ have to be considered.

I would like to ask the community if there are people that can work on
the 2.8 documentation master so that we can branch afterwards and have
a beginning for the upcoming non-LTR releases.

Kind regards,
Larissa
