that is the plan now: building on the (much stronger/faster qgis2),
rsync to qgis server.

as said: plz let me know what info you need. Happy to work together. I'm
not a sysadmin by profession or willing to be.

Well. prioritizing depends on your goals and knowledge. We differ in
both. Feel free to help and get me on par with you on knowledge about
sysadmin stuff. But please also try to help us if we maybe have other
(maybe less professional, or even wrong in your eyes) views. I try to be
pragmatic about the redmine problem: if somebody want to pull that:
fine. Otherwise: get rid of it (by using Github). As you say: it is a
problem too long already.

As most other functionality is now moved away (plugins site, building
nightlies and docs en website), we now have a better opportunity to
bring down/update qgis...
