[Incubator] QField as OSGeo Project

Wed Apr 19 15:54:29 PDT 2023

I think you need to ask? Do you want to check the requirements first and
then send an email :)

What a great photo of your team! Sorry for finding the old logo :)

One of the content pages had a section for “specs” but it is not very well
defined what is appropriate there. Things like compatibility and version
numbers I expect.
