[Qgis-community-team] New branch for 3.x documentation (master_3x)

[Alexandre Neto]

Hello All,

As a result of a long discussion around how to contribute with
documentation for 3.x new features [0]
<https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-developer/2017-March/047346.html>,
we decided to create a master_3x branch [1]
<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/tree/master_3x>.

>From now on, all new features landing on QGIS 2.99 should be documented in
the "master_3x" branch.

All new documentation and improvements as we go through the latest releases
issues (2.16 [2]
<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%22QGIS+2.16%22>
and 2.18 [3]) should still be worked on the master branch. When it makes
sense, the documentation team will do his best to "forward port" them to
master_3x branch.

After 2.18 release as LTR (June?) and consequent release of 2.18
documentation, "master_3x" will be merged into "master" and all should go
back to normal. That is, all contributions can be done in the "master"
branch.

To help us document the all the new features, we kindly ask all developers
to add the [FEATURE] and [NEED-DOCS] tags in their commits and provide some
simple guidance on how to use the new features in the commit message.

Thanks

Alexandre Neto
