[Qgis-developer] QGIS 1.0 Branched - please read to prepare for 1.0.0 release!

[Otto Dassau]

Hi Paolo, 

I cleaned up the website a bit, fixed the 2 typos mentioned by Frank and would
like to suggest, that we have an extra page (sponsors.html?) where we list all
sponsors divided into classes who are currently listed under "Acknowledgements".
I think that would make the page clearer.

regards,
 Otto
