[QGIS-Developer] Reducing the size of our download packages

[Nick Bearman]

Hi all,

Thanks for the discussion, and it sounds like it is progressing well.

As someone who often trains new QGIS users, I am keen to make the 
'on-ramp' to using QGIS as easy as possible so please can we keep this 
in mind. I am very happy to try things out and give my feedback.

I didn't know QGIS already had the user friendly workflow for adding 
grid shift files (thanks Nyall for mentioning it). I would like to try 
this out to see how it works, how can I make it download a new grid 
shift file? (I guess which CRS do I need to ask it to use to prompt the 
download please).

Thanks!
Nick.
