[QGIS-Developer] QGIS Server visibility and documentation

[Jorge Gustavo Rocha]

Hi all,

A dedicated logo and a dedicated landing page would be great (we could
use server.qgis.org for example). Part of QGIS Server "identity" problem
is because people think it as some QGIS additional feature. Not as
something that can be deployed in a headless server, independently of
QGIS. In fact, QGIS and QGIS Server share the same code base, but from a
functional point of view, they are different applications, for different
purposes. As developers, we put all the code in the same repo, but as
marketeers, we should sell two different products :-)

People looking for "map servers" should go there. Developers/sysops
should be able to deploy new QGIS Server instances from there.

Thank you Alexandre for volunteer. Julien, as far as I understood, will
lead this QEP implementation. Thank you both.

Regards,

Jorge
