[Qgis-developer] technical experts for manual rewrite

[Otto Dassau]

Dear Developers-

When the manual team updates the manual for the v1.0 release, we hope to 
communicate the best description of what the features are and how to 
implement them. Therefore I would like to identify at least one 
technical expert for each chapter who is thoroughly familiar with those 
aspects of the software that are covered in that chapter, preferably 
someone involved in the development of the code, who is willing and 
available to answer technical questions that may arise while we write 
the manual updates. If you are willing to proofread for technical 
accuracy, that would also be good but not required.

The rewriting will begin after the v1.0 feature freeze, which I am 
guessing will occur around Aug 15, and continue for some while (say one 
week) after the GUI freeze currently scheduled for Sept 15. So the 
experts need to be available at least some of the time from Aug 15 to 
Sept 22.
