[QGIS-Developer] Request from QGIS docs writers

Hi devs,

Hope you're all doing well! We're reaching out from the documentation team
with a few requests.

As we work on documenting various features, we've run into challenges
finding good test data, particularly for 3D, point clouds, and specific
database formats. If any of you have sample data you could share, or know
of reliable sources where we could find suitable datasets, that would be a
huge help. And if you're aware, when developing things, that a format you
use is specific or hard to find online, please consider sending us your own
test data directly, that would be especially valuable.

We're also putting together content for the QGIS Open Day (QOD) series, and
3D features are high on our list. If you have suggestions for interesting
data sources that would showcase these features well, please share them
with us.

A couple of other things we'd like to flag:

**"Needs documentation" label**: It would mean a lot if you could keep an
eye on this label in the dev repository and action it when relevant.
Staying on top of it helps us keep documentation timely and accurate.
Sometimes we receive issue tickets in our repo and when working on them, we
might discover related PRs in the dev repo, or we might find new UI
elements without a corresponding issue ticket in our repo, then we need to
dig through the development repository. This process can take some time or
even confuse us as writers.

**Feature descriptions & use cases**: Whenever you have a spare moment,
even a brief description of a feature or a real-world use case goes a long
way in helping us document things properly.

We know you're busy, and we truly appreciate any time and input you can
spare.

Thanks so much,
Selma Vidimlic Husic
