<p>Personally I find it sad that server proposals never get a majority on such votings. Seems like Desktop is still the priority for most voters. But hey - improvements in QGIS core should also benefit server.</p>
<p>And at least we now have a proposal and price tag for the open server proposals and can find someone else to fund these improvements.</p>
<p>All of the proposals sounded useful to me and I hope we can find others to finance some of the proposals that didn't make it. Or they can submit again next year if that topic is still relevant then.</p>
