[Qgis-developer] hackfest

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
For the upcoming hackfest, I would like to point out a few important issues:
- first of all, the hackfest would be a good chance to close down
invalid/non reproducible/obsolete bugs, and fix easy bugs: a shorter
queue is the key for further work
- of course, solving the issue with label placement would be a major
success for the fest
- a few bugs that I find important to fix:
https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1079
https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1181
https://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/377 and other issues about custom
projections

Infrastructure for python plugins:
Ideally this should:
- allow devs with privileges to upload their plugin
- do some consistency check (removing hidden, unnecessary files, .pyc
etc.) and pointing out missing elements (licence, minimum version, etc.)
- generate automatically the relevant entry in plugins.xml
- allow the maintainer to mark each plugin with the appropriate category
(sandbox, experimental, unstable, testing, stable), so users are warned
(but still allowed and encouraged to experiment).
