[Qgis-community-team] User Guide chapter 7 questions.

[Ramon Andinach]

Evening all,

I've just committed and an updated working_with_projections. If anyone can have a look and provide some feedback, I'd be appreciative.

Tim, thanks for the answers. Would you be able to have a quick check and let me know if I'm misrepresenting the CRS sourcing?

Q2. Done.

Q3. I found the new icon (geographic.png) in default and copied it into images. But, svn didn't seem to notice and I don't think it uploaded. 
    Is it possible for someone to directly put geographic.png into images? (otherwise things might look a bit odd).

-ramon.

I saw that particular icon today when I fired up 1.6 for the first time in a while, but none of the 1.7 installs that I have to hand use that icon. Further I can't see the right icon (a grey thing that might be a stylised globe) in the images folder. What's best to do here?
