[Qgis-developer] XML Metadata editor Plugin - FYI

[godofredo contreras]

Alex:
 
I think metadata is very important and I was wondering
if it is possible to integrate this functionality into qgis app
directly. This way metadata info could be seen in metadata tab
of layer properties dialog. For file based layers metadata could
be an xml named as layer and some information could be updated
automatically, for example when was last modified.
 
What qgis developers think about this?
 
Regards
