[Qgis-developer] QEP - Proposal for QGIS 3.0 after 2.14

[Vincent Picavet (ml)]

Hi Nyall,

You just beat me on the same email a few minutes away :-)

> - Get PSC to vote on and accept
> https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/29 . Needs
> to be done ASAP so that we're all agreed that 2.14 is the last 2.0
> series release.

+1

> - Decide on the timing for 3.0. Specifically, will the normal
> scheduled release after 2.14 be skipped to allow for a longer
> development cycle for 3.0. Regarding this, my opinion is that we NEED
> the longer cycle to allow room for the (non Qt5/python 3.0) related
> changes which we can ONLY make for an API breaking release. There's
> already a long list at https://github.com/qgis/qgis3.0_api/issues, and
> I suspect this is only scratching the surface. Without sufficient time
> for devs to address these API related issues we'll be stuck with the
> limitations of the current API for another 2-3 years.

+1

> Anyway, can we please lock in point 1 above so that we can move the
> discussion on to timing?

+1 for approving point 1 ASAP.
