Thanks all for the repos. Now initial library and plugin commits are on review for both projects:
- https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/240347/
- https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/240361/
It is good if someone wants to review and approve those cause we need to move things forward and try to include our project into coming QtC 4.8 release.
Thanks all again for participation!
