[GeoNode-devel] Python 3 / Django 2 Upgrade version naming and branch

Wed Mar 20 02:17:56 PDT 2019

Hi Francesco,
I think we are pretty much inline although my concern is more on the amount
of work needed to track all these branches and the implicit risks.

In addition this Python 3 work should happen in a public branch where the
community can contribute or at least check; I am strognly against this work
being done as we are talking about a potential disruptive contribution I
would be very careful about how we prepare for it and how we handle it.

Regards,
Simone.
