[Qgis-developer] Cleaning up the QEP list

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Nathan, 

no problem. Just wanted to send you some input. Hopefully it helps. You
are doing a lot for the project and I understand that during 2.16 you
were focused on the styling dock. 

As always: thanks for your efforts!

Perhaps we can introduce a new label stating "Needs funds" or something similar? It would help potential funders to pick things they like to see implemented. Quite a few of the proposals are already implemented, sometimes even if they don't have the "Accepted label" - i guess some of the implementations had time pressure due to the 2.16 list and thus couldn't wait for voting/acceptance.
