[work] [Qgis-community-team] Planning for QGIS 1.0.0 '????'

[Tara Athan]

Tim - what is meant by the item "menu overhaul."  We are starting to

the GUI would not change much between 0.11 and 1.0. Is this assumption 
incorrect?

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.
