Thanks so much Nyall and all credit goes to Lova who is doing fantastic
work! What I suggest is that moving forward, Lova uses QEP's too propose
and discuss breaking / major workflow changes on the plugins site. In that
QEP he can address:

* what the change is (link back to ticket in QGIS-Django for example)
* what the impact will be
* proposed roll out time line
etc.

And we can discuss and agree these changes there before he goes ahead with
it. For smaller changes, I suggest he 'just get on with it' - his scrum
board is public and you are all welcome to help prioritise his work.

For the current issue under discussion (license requirements for plugins),
I have asked Lova to make a QEP and synthesize the discussion there, mainly
so he can have a practice run at going through the QEP process, although I
will add my 2c that I like Matthias' simple solution to the problem (adding
license as a line to the metadata.txt). If I understand you right Matthias,
our metadata would then look like this?:

[general]
name=QGIS Animation Workbench
description=A plugin to let you build animations in QGIS
about=QGIS Animation Bench exists because we wanted to use all the awesome
cartography features in QGIS and make cool, animated maps! QGIS already
includes the Temporal Manager which allows you to produce animations for
time-based data. But what if you want to make animations where you travel
around the map, zooming in and out, and perhaps making features on the map
wiggle and jiggle as the animation progresses? That is what the animation
workbench tries to solve...
version=1.1
qgisMinimumVersion=3.0
author=Tim Sutton
email=tim at kartoza.com
repository=https://github.com/timlinux/QGISAnimationPlugin
license=GPLv2
-----------------------------

There is probably another thread to this discussion which is to understand
which license are accepted and which not, but that is a job for another QEP
I guess...!

Regards

Tim
