[Qgis-developer] Report 5 - QGIS Symbology Sharing Tools

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Akbar,

thanks a lot for the update, I especially liked the video, this makes it
a lot easier for the audience (at least me :) ) to get an impression of
the status quo. Good job so far!

Concerning dulwich, did you checkout the #dulwich IRC channel and the
mailing list which are mentioned in the project's readme [1] ?

What exactly are the efficiency problems you are referring to? Maybe
it's also worth looking into downloading individual files over http
instead of the whole .zip file (raw.githubusercontent.com), that also
allows doing partial downloads if you don't need a complete repository
and you know which files you want.

Looking forward to hearing more of this project, keep up the good work!

Matthias
