Hi,

as the original author is Carson Farmer, and apparently people ask for
this plugin, I'm wondering if it is maybe an idea to put this plugin in
the main QGIS plugin repository.

And if Carson does not have time to do the maintaining of the plugin, we
ask one of the users to maybe do the maintenance?

@Carson: what's you opinion about that?
@Others: any volunteers?

We every now and then have plugins for which there is interest, but the
original author lost interest, of just does not find time anymore to
invest it in responding to questions or doing trivial fixes if needed
for a new QGIS version.

So in general: in these cases: please try to contact the original author
and see if you can maybe take over the maintainer ship of such a plugin?
In this case for example it looks like some lines of code would make it
usable again for QGIS users...
Active central maintenance and availability via plugins.qgis.org is
better then scattered fixes over mailing lists and GisStackExchange/

Any takers, IF Carson agrees?

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
