[Qgis-developer] fTools and GdalTools: sextante vs original plugins

[Agustin Lobo]

Victor,
I know this is about >= 1.9, that's is the point:
I want to stress the contradiction about asking for feedback while
the tools cannot be tested on the stable version that most users use.
Qgis has an extraordinary feature:
users can test experimental tools developed as plugins while keeping the
stable core. If Sextante were working on the stable release, (either
by making sextante work
on 1.8, which is probably not possible, or by having released an
stable 1.9 ) you
would be having a lot more of feedback from users.
