[Qgis-developer] OpenLayers plugin

[motta.luiz at gmail.com]

Borys,

Mybe helpfull

I make some changes in Plugin, see:
http://github.com/pka/qgis-openlayers-plugin/tree/master/openlayers/

Where:
1) Accept Proxy
2) Change the project to EPSG 900913
3) Set to "on the fly"
4) Set extent with coordinate transformed

With this the user no need make itens 2) and 3) and don´t change yours 
area of view (on the fly + Apply).

The plugin is avaible in repository (0.4 pre-release) status development 
in version 1.5
