[Qgis-developer] GSoC deadline

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

Thanks all for your work on the proposal.

One thing to keep in mind is that the interface should also work on
mobile devices (phones, tablets). On mobile devices the dock approach
may not work because there is not enough screen space for both the map
and the symbology dock.

Just to keep in mind that there should be an alternative for those devices.

Now I understand that one would primarily style maps on a PC and not so
much on a mobile device but one should also be able to modify styles on
a mobile device.

Thanks for considering this as well.

Andreas
