<br>
Having another process to nominate QEP voters sounds too
complicated to me.<br>

<br>
There is a mix of coders and non-coders in the PSC on purpose.
Developers sometimes have a narrow point of view, so it is good
that also non-developers have a say. In the discussion part of the
QEP, the consequences for users can be mentioned. I don't consider
that a problem, even for very technical subjects (and even those
usually have somehow an influence on the users of a software).<br>
<br>
I'm putting RFC/QEP on the agenda to discuss at the next PSC
meeting

<p dir="ltr">I'd say neither psc nor commit rights are a good fit.
While I agree that the psc should definitely have a say, not
everyone on the psc is a developer or has c++ coding experience.
Similarly, we have people who have commit rights who are neither
developers nor psc members.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Since a big part of the qep would be commenting on
proposed technical architecture, I think its fairly important
that developers have a good say in the process. But conversely
if the qep process determines the direction of QGIS, then non
devs on the psc should also have a say.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So, I'd say we need a new group for voters. We could
have a process like:<br>
- a candidate is nominated & seconded (possibly by psc
members only?)<br>
- the candidate gives a short reasoning on why they'd like to be
part of the group and what skills they have<br>
- after receiving a set number of votes the candidate is
accepted into the group. (Again, possibly only the psc could
vote on candidates?).</p>
