Help with the user guide update is most welcome!<br>
There is a blank file (plugins_installer.tex) holding the place of the
section on the plugin installer.<br>
There are also essentially blank sections holding the places for
writing plugins in python and C++.<br>
plugins_writing_in_cpp.tex, plugins_writing_in_python.tex.<br>
Please get in touch with Werner Macho as he has responsibility for the
plugin sections.<br>
We would very much appreciate help from a knowledgeable plugin writer
to fill out these sections.<br>
<br>
Thanks! <br>

So the installer doesn't create the missing directories. I'll fix it tomorrow
and now you can easily fix it by manually creating the directory "python" and
the "plugins" inside:
C:/Documents and Settings/Tara/.qgis/python/plugins
Then the plugins should install.

<pre wrap="">I am updating parts of the manual for QGIS 1.0, so I am necessarily
working with this version.
I have a windows build that was generated for me by Marco Pasetti
against code revision 9303.
I will not have access to any other version until after Nov. 18 because
Marco has to finish his thesis at the
moment (unless someone else knows how to provide a Windows build).
At present I am updating the Forward, which describes the overall
capabilities of QGIS. Currently there are statement such as:
"You can perform spatial data analysis on PostgreSQL/PostGIS and other OGR
supported formats using the geoprocessing plugin."
Will the geoprocessing plugin be modified to work with QGIS 1.0.0 in
time for the release, or can we expect that capability to not be
available for a while?
Our timeline is to finish the first draft of the user guide update
within 2 weeks (Nov. 4) so I need to know whether I should be
taking these statements out, or leave them in in anticipation of the
plugins being updated.

The API is changed nearly every day, so plugin updating is suspended until the
API freeze. Surely all valuable plugins will be updated before the day of
1.0.0 release, but probably not before November 4th...
I think you can use this plugin under QGIS 0.11 and assume that its gui won't
be changed... But I don't know Author's plans.
Btw. should I write a section about the Plugin Installer? Or is it done
already? Furthermore, there is lack of guidelines describing preparation of
the plugin packages and the authors sometimes do it wrongly. Could we include
it to the user guide?</pre>

My e-mail delivery has been unreliable lately, so I am asking for
return receipts from all my email messages.
OK'ing the return receipt lets me know that my message was delivered.
Thank you.
