Hi all.<br>
IMHO, one of the most pleasant trends in QGIS is the fast
growing number<br>
of contributors, e.g.<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.ohloh.net/p/3663/contributors/summary"
target="_blank">http://www.ohloh.net/p/3663/contributors/summary</a><br>
In parallel, our user base is incresing even faster, and so, I
guess,<br>
the number of potential financial contributors.<br>
Better feed up this trend. My suggestion is to stimulate
prospective<br>
contributors to:<br>
<br>
* choose a task, with priority with those necessary for a
smooth release<br>
of qgis 2.0 - all the blockers on the bugtracker, plus:<br>
* add a bugtracker for all the plugins that miss it<br>
* update to the new API the plugins that are not working<br>
* migrate the plugin from the old to the new repo<br>
* Sextante bugfixing, and especially setting up a full test
suite for it<br>
* general interface cleanup<br>
* symbology migration to the new one<br>
* labelling migration to the new one<br>
* migrating to the new web site (stop joomla, go to rts)<br>
<br>
* make a proposal for the solution of the chosen task, and get
a general<br>
acceptance from the team<br>
* make an estimate for the task<br>
* then we can start a BidForFix, and if successful the new dev
can start<br>
working on it.<br>
<br>
How do you feel about it?<br>

<div>I'm happy to go ahead with this - maybe we should just pick
one task first and test the system out e.g. the sextante one
(picked randomly)?</div>

So, if nobody objects, can I start?<br>
I agree starting with just one block. My suggestion is:<br>
* add a bugtracker for all the plugins that miss it<br>
* update to the new API the plugins that are not working<br>
* migrate the plugin from the old to the new repo<br>
because working on sextante would require much interaction, possibly
confusing for a first timer.<br>
Maybe we can add "developing a sextante test suite" to the list.<br>
<br>
Opinions?<br>
