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

Thu Mar 22 15:14:16 PDT 2018

Hi

And just to add to Andrea’s reply, for each changelog entry there is an option to add who sponsored the entry and a link to their site. Vincent if you would like to supply me some text and a screenshot, I will be happy to add an entry to the changelog for this feature.

Thanks for supporting QGIS Vincent!

Regards

Tim

Such a contribution is often unknown to us at QGIS.ORG and the developer should take care about giving credits in the visual changelog.

Perhaps it was forgotten to add this new improvement? Nyall - do you know more about this?

I don't see a direct mention of that PR in the visual changelog, however, I do see a lot of company logo's :-) Would our contribution allow for a mention either as a sponsoring company at the top of the page, or could someone add a small section about the new feature and add us as a sponsor there?
