Hi all.
The lack of response does not speak well about this. Are there
qgis-grass users around?
Anyway, Victor has kindly written a simple guide on how to add grass
modules to sextante:
http://sextante.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/soft/bindings/qgis-plugin/src/sextante/grass/grass.txt
Anyone wiling to help? Perhaps we should try to involve some power user?
All the best.
