[Qgis-developer] Moving the install instructions to a more sexy, visible, coherent and translatable page in qgis.org

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

during last hackfest I actually also did this, point was that currently
there is some 'magic' if I understand correct from Juergen, which would
be broken if be bring those pages to rst...

I agree with you that rst would be the preferred format, but feel that
as Juergen is actually keeping those notes up to date, he has to ok with
that.

@jef: maybe you can elaborate a little more on this?

Regards,

Richard
