Hi Martin
Yes I will be updating the release schedule etc shortly (probably next
week, I want to have a release team meeting first). I agree things
look tight for sept based on current progress.
I also wanted to discuss with the developer community at large the
idea that was rased a month or two back about making QGIS 0.11.0 a
performance boosting focussed release. ie. that we target bugs
relating to performance and generally try to get things running more
zippily. What do others think? I am also planning to start a review of
the UI in this release (but it may continue into next release too. I
am writing up some human interface guidelines for QGIS and will be
working to get all dialogs compliant.
Perhaps we need to try to have a qgis town hall meeting next week to
discuss plans for the next release?
Also there is a code sprint session at FOSS4GEO in sept, that would be
worth having a bug sqaushing fest in if QGIS 1.0 is not already out.
Regards
Tim
