[GRASS-dev] possible bug - more coordination needed

It seems from that bug report that you are building against grass trunk?
Please use the latest stable version (currently 6.4.1 soon to be 6.4.2)
for building the QGIS--GRASS plugin. Trunk is in active development
and will change all the time, without warning, guaranteed. The stable
branch will hopefully remain stable/backwards compatible for a long long
time, specifically so things like the qgis plugin will continue to work
with a minimum about of maintenance.

completely agree.
 - would a dedicated inter-project qgis-grass-plugin osgeo ML help?
 - what are the biggest issues with it to work on right now?
