[Qgis-psc] Fw: request from geoinformatics magazine

[Otto Dassau]

Hi,

I added more text to the geoinformatics article in svn. Would be great, if you
can have a look at the structure and especially write something (more) about
development, technical stuff, realeases, and future and proof-reading of my poor
english, of course ;). We need 3000 words...

We should try to finish the article ASAP, because I will be very busy at the end
of next week and more or less offline the week afterwards.

BTW: I don't know if the images are ok, good enough, also in quality but I don't
know how to do it better. If you can check that, it would be great, too. 

regards,
 Otto
