[Qgis-developer] What will be in QGIS 2.0

[Germán Carrillo]

Hi all,

please don't forget the QGIS legend and its issues when keeping track of
both layer and group positions.

Since there could be too many new functionalities, what about publishing a
survey in qgis.org for prioritizing and, perhaps, postponing them for minor
2.x releases?

Focusing on too many new stuff could yield the
next-major-version-is-coming-since-several-years-ago problem that other GIS
software have experienced.

Regards,

Germán
