[Qgis-psc] Funding QGIS Server enhancement - remove old QgsWXSProjectParser

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

I would like to get the QGIS server improvement (QGIS grant proposal
from 3Liz "remove old QgsWXSProjectParser") into QGIS core prior to the
release of QGIS 3. 

I first thought that my employer could pay that, but unfortunately, at
the current time, they would only fund new features that we need - no
under-the-hood cleanup work. The project costs 3k EUR, according to an
offer from 3Liz. 

My proposal would be that I personally would pay half of that amount
(paid from the QGIS courses I do besides my main work) and I would like
to ask if QGIS.ORG could pay the second half (1.5k). Or do you know
another organization who could pay for it? 

Given that most of our HF expenses from Essen are funded by FOSSGIS e.V.
Germany and the German QGIS user group, we could use this HF money
instead to fund the remaining 1.5k for the QGIS server modernization. I
budgeted 8k for the Essen HF, but so far we only spent around 1k. 

It would be an important work for modernizing QGIS Server. 

Thanks for your replies, 

Andreas
