[Qgis-developer] HTML manual

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

i think we should put the html user manual on the task list for the hackfest
in November in Wrozlaw. I could help with that there and then. I added a
note to the Wrozlaw page.

We can discuss the ideas and improvements now and add them to the
ManualTasks (I started a new section):

Regards,
 Otto
