Ok I didnt explain myself well - it will still be available in the
wiki under http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/DevelopersManual , generated
from the CODING.t2t canonical master. Also in my opininion its better
if you do it in CODING.t2t because the CODING (generated text) will be
produced for each release so we can always have coding guide relevant
to the release. By maintaining only on the wiki it supports only the
most current API and is difficult for users of e.g. 0.8 to find the
correct docs. For more explanation see the original mail I sent to the
dev list explaining CODING.t2t earlier this week.

Make sense?
