Hi Pirmin,

if we manage to release 2.0 before Brighton, I agree that the Openlayers 
plugin is one plugin which should be available at 2.0 launch.

Here locally I managed to get it running in current master (most of it, 
overview widget is not ok yet).
But I do not want to force/stress Sourcepole or Matthias to put time in 
looking into it if they have more important things to do.

And maybe you have (bigger/other) plans with the plugin, like a 
refactoring or upgrade of bigger parts of the code. Or maybe you know 
with QGIS 2.0 there are non sip parts that will give problems?
I can also imagine that you really want to support only ONE plugin 
working for both sip api versions.

But that said, I'm happy to put what I have now put on Github and ask 
for a pull request in a 2.0 branch (what I did is NOT compatible with 
1.8). I'm also available if bugs pop up in that version in short future.

And I agree that Brighton is then a nice place to do the 'bigger' work 
for this really important plugin.

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
