Greetings,
As we continue to move towards a 0.8 release, I'd first like to thank
all of you who are contributing to the effort through bug fixes,
patches, documentation, translations, and filing bugs.

At present we are 75% along with regard to issues in 0.8. I would
encourage you to feel free to work on the remaining issues. Many of
them are assigned to me in Trac, however that is just the default
assignment that takes place when you open a ticket. It doesn't mean
I'm working on them (in fact at present I'm not working any, but
rather concentrating on the Windows build and documentation).

If you have time, please reassign those tasks you want to handle and
fix them. You can easily view the 0.8 milestone tasks here:

https://svn.qgis.org/trac/query?
status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=milestone&milestone=Ver
sion+0.8+Release&order=priority

or create your own custom query in Trac.

One issue I would like to address in 0.8 is the context help for all
dialogs. This isn't a new feature, the hooks have been there since
0.7, but it has never been fully implemented. Most dialogs have a
help button already, its just a matter of hooking them up. I'll post
something to the list on how to do this if you want to "wire up" your
dialogs. I have a web application to create and edit the context help
that goes in the sqlite3 database. This application assigns the
unique context id for a class base on a hash of the class name.  If
you are interested in contributing to writing context help, let me
know and I'll get the application online.

The user guide has been significantly updated and is ready for
review. If you review the guide, please note your comments by page
number and send them to this list. Stephan Holl provided a draft of
the user guide for review at: http://www.gdf-hannover.de/holl/tmp/
QGIS_user_guide.pdf. We'll continue to edit and get it ready for
release, in the meantime please feel free to provide comment and
content if you see something missing.

Remember, anyone can contribute to QGIS, whether it be code
contributions, bug fixes, bug reports, documentation, or simply
supporting other users on the mailing lists and forums. Financial
contributions to offset our server and hosting costs  are also welcome.

Thanks to all
