[QGIS-Developer] Visual Changelog: ready? Move to Website? Or Not?

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi,

I agree with what Andreas proposes, ie announce clearly a date to the end
of April, then make a copy to the website.

I still try to polish the changelog currently, some entries are hard to
understand or deserve animated gif's and some entries can be factorized in
one only for a shorter changelog. If the changelog is too long to be read,
that means it is too long :)

Another glitch linked to the validation workflow. When someone submit an
entry, the entry disappears until it is validated. So that leaded to
duplicates, probably because some thought they had an issue with the
website.

I would suggest that the validation workflow submits the new version to
moderators, and that a copy of the old version stays published. A message
to inform the author he needs some validation would be necessary too.

Cheers!

Régis
