[Qgis-psc] Resource Sharing plugin in core?

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Håvard

 From my side, no big objections but also no big plus that I can see.

The "appearing official" would mostly be something for developers, and I 
don't think that's the main target audience.

Suggestion:

- create a new organisation QGIS-Contribution, fork the repository 
there, ask Akbar for permissions.

- roll the drums where it's visible for end users - blog post, twitter, 
mailing lists, news panel ...
