[Qgis-developer] ideas for developpers

[Carson Farmer]

Nice work Mauricio,

I had started this plugin as well, but I think I'll scrap mine in favour 
of yours. When you are done, let me know if you'd like to put it up on 
my repository. I"ve set it up as a place for plugins not yet ready for 
the main repository, but are in full working order....

Cheers,

Carson
