[QGIS-Developer] R provider for QGIS 3 - any interest?

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all,
my perception is that, although niche, thi is however largely used. The
problem is that it is difficult to reach these users, so a crowdfunding
widely annouced through blogs and social media could be a good way to go.
I suspect these users will quitely keep on using 2.18, which IMHO is
suboptimal.
Thanks Howard for raising this issue.
All the best.
