Hi all,
thanks for the fruitful discussion. I agree:
* the ideal situation is that at least the most downloaded plugins (say,
>=25) are ported during feature freeze, so they are immediately
available for early adopters of QGIS3; this is important IMHO because
the more early adopters, the more early Q3 testing, the faster we'll get
to a stable Q3; missing important plugins will keep users away from Q3
* documents to help plugins devs to migrate are very important, both
formal documents, and real user experiences; better create a place to
start accumulating it (READMEs on GitHub?) and point plugin deveopers to it.
All the best.
