[Qgis-developer] Another question about QEP/RFC submission process

[Nathan Woodrow]

Hey,

Yeah the use of labels and the status field in the QEP is the way to go.
 Depending on the type of change it can go to voting first up, some things
are simple enough that they can be voted right away e.g "Lets use Skype
rather then IRC" (example of course).  There isn't much to flesh out there
and it would just go right to vote.

Most will go into discussion/draft mode first so feel free to open one
while it's near completion but still in draft mode. Just make sure people
are aware that you are building it out, and re-notify the mailing list once
it's done before the vote for a final look.  I would start with something
that is as close to ready as possible so that people have a good idea first
round but if some small details are missing that isn't an issue.

As you already have an idea on what you are trying to do, I think it's best
to put together as much as you can, open a QEP, then we can discuss any
details that need to be fleshed out.
