[Qgis-developer] Branch status for merge and release timeline proposal

[Marco Bernasocchi]

Hi all,
regarding globe, we have a pretty stable gui, controls and functionality 
but we also have a major speed issue that we didn't really investigate 
since we where waiting for OSGearth 2.0 (out now and packaged 8h ago by 
Pirmin -thanks ) to make globe run with it (should solve plenty of 
stability issues).
So, i'd say it looks good, but Pirmin has to confirm and of course we 
rely on threading...

ciao Marco
