[Qgis-developer] QGIS Web Client migrated to GIT

[Andreas Neumann]

 Hi Tim,

 The changes you describe sound fine to me.

 My osgeo username is "neumann", I believe the same username was also 
 used in svn. I would need access to the documentation (manual) and to 
 the QGIS webclient parts of the repository.
