[Qgis-community-team] Manuals and help

[samuelmesa at gmail.com]

Victor, thanks for the explanation, I will be available to contribute also
in the construction of the documentation, I am an active user of QGIS +
SEXTANTE and I would be delighted to support them in this task..

Thanks,

Samuel Mesa.
