[Qgis-community-team] weekly report on user guide update

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

Otto I think you branch list covers thigs well. Godofredo has a branch
for unified data addition which will affect the ui if he wants to
merge it. I'm still waiting to hear from him wether it will be ready.

Tara I am working to reaolve naming issues with plugin icons - I'll
notify you when I'm done.

Regards

Tim
