<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Hm - We always had a separate budget for documentation - totally separate from the grants.</p>
<p>Personally, I would prefer if we could find a pragmatic solution so that work, that wasn't planned ahead, can still be financed. Grants are only issued once a year - for one-time work - not for repeated maintenance work.</p>
<p>I think our Python devs would appreciate a complete API documentation. This seems to be repeating work - isn't the API constantly changing a bit? Mainly for major releases, but also some additions, fixes, clarifications, etc. in betweeen?</p>
<p>I think, in the future, we should declare API documentation as part of the documentation budget and increase the documentation funds accordingly.</p>
<p>Opinions?</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<div>For me I apologise for being a party pooper here but I think it is better we spend our bug fixing time on actual QGIS bug fixes. If we are going to spend more time on the docs I prefer if we work through the grant process.</div>
