[Qgis-psc] Fw: qgis web migration to osgeo

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Otto

Great stuff.

Ill need to coordinate with your guys for moving the community map
over. Maybe we can convert it to use google maps or something? The
placenames db used to drive the user reg page is very very big = 1gig
or something.

The actuall community users map table is pretty small and I was
thinking we could move it into sqlite3 db rather for easy backup etc.

Regards

Tim
