[Qgis-community-team] OpenGeo supporting QGIS

[Victor Olaya]

Andreas

We are definitely on the some direction here. It's likely that most of
our effort in documentation will be targeted at the PyCookBook. It is
a very important document, and now it is outdated, since it doesn't
reflect the changes in the vector API and the SIP API. Also, we
believe it can be extended, and we plan to write new materials and
maybe put together all the many things that can be found around
(blogs, individual doc pages, etc), so all the information needed to
write plugins and extend QGIS is available in a single complete
document.

In short, you can expect improvements on that from our side, since we
have identified that also as a priority

thanks for your ideas!

Victor
