Hi devs,<br><br>My humble opinions :<br><br>* We should go for api breakage asap, or we will postpone it next time we will speak again about it.<br><br>* +1 for contacting every plugin author and give them a documentation on how to migrate their plugins to the new api.<br>
<br>* if plugin authors do not respond, we consider their plugin(s) are not active anymore : if someone has time to replace the author and port the plugin to the new api, it is great. If not, this must not be a blocker. Because unmaintained plugins are ... unmaintained. If users really need theses plugins, they will provide ressources (human, time, money) to help some other devs to upgrade it.<br>
<br>* ok to have a release every year : it will let devs organize themselves, and user will have the habit to wait for a new version only at one time of the year (merry christmas). It will help companies like our to build a strong commercial offer around Qgis, Qgis Server, and to build up to date training courses.<br>
<br>* we could release every 6 month like ubuntu, but I am not sure we have the manpower to do so. If yes, this will be the best IMHO<br><br><br>Hum... reading my text above, it sounds too simple : I do not take into account the need for bug fixing. One year without a bug fix can be very long. And backporting means to have time and manpower... ARg, stuck again !<br>
