[Qgis-developer] Status of QGIS3

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all,

I have to give a short talk on the current status of QGIS3 and the
outlook for the future. The main aim is to grow interest, and ultimately
attract testers, developers, and sponsors.
Topics I thought of are:

* current development state
* what's new for the user
* what's new for the developer
* what's the most likely roadmap and timing
* what to do about plugins (when starting to upgrade, how to do it).

I thought to dig through commits and QEPs, but it' a big amount of work,
and from this fine graded scale it's very difficult to get the whole
picture, not to say about outlooks.
I think this is of relevance to this list, as it could be a good chance
to have a clear picture to communicate to users. I'd be glad of doing
this as a cooperative effort, so this could be used to communicate it
worldwide.
I'd therefore be grateful of any suggestion.

Thanks for any hint.
