[Qgis-developer] SSL error on QGIS startup

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Matthias,

Thanks for shedding some light on this issue. I'd also be in favor of 
removing the news feed, if it requires download from Google. However, it 
would be useful, to have a menu entry in the "Help" menu, to open the 
website of the QGIS blog. The help menu could have several entries for 
useful web resources - and there it clearly is triggered by the user.

Thanks,
Andreas
