[Qgis-community-team] Re: Plugin icons

[Tara Athan]

Tim - can we at least require something like this for any new plugins so 
we don't make the problem bigger than it is?

I think we need to recognize at some point that not having an up-to-date 
user guide is damaging to the usability and thus the acceptance of QGIS, 
and put some efforts into making the update process smoother and more 
automatic.

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.
