[Qgis-developer] Building plugin for Print Composer

[G. Allegri]

The suggestion from John is exactly what we did too. And we also built a

It would be great to have the means to know what other teams are working
to. It would save a lor of time and money and, probably, get better
software from a shared effort ;)
