<p>Hi Tim and all,</p>
<p>Documentation of the manual, documentation of Python API and
managing the bug queue (Giovanni) have separate items in the
budget. So far it hasn't been used at all - and the end of the
year is coming rather quickly. I believe it is more a lack of time
than a lack of money - the issue around documentation.</p>
<p>For managing the bug queue we have a budget of 1k € per release.
Perhaps this is not enough - I don't know how much time and effort
Giovanni puts into the issues management. I am happy to increase
this amount a bit, esp. since we did not have as many releases
this year as usual.</p>
<p>As to reviewing the PR queue: no idea how much effort would mean,
but it would have to be done quickly (e.g. within the next week).
Jürgen has to comment on that. We can spend some money on getting
the PRs reviewed, but I would need an estimate (e.g. x days).</p>
<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Andreas<br>

<br class="">
According to our release schedule we now hit feature freeze:<br
class="">
<br class="">
2.99 in feature freeze since 10/27/2017, 2:00:00 PM<br class="">
<br class="">
I am wondering what we will do with all the Pull Requests sitting
in the queue (currently 98) if people put PR’s into the queue and
nobody reviewed them / ok'd applying them? For example we
(Kartoza) have <a href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5379"
class="" moz-do-not-send="true">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/5379</a> which
I think is important to apply for 3.0. I am sure there are many
others in the queue that didn’t make it the code base before
feature freeze.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">My long term vision for QGIS is that we (<a
href="http://QGIS.ORG" class="" moz-do-not-send="true">QGIS.ORG</a>)
eventually hire some professional (as in paid, not volunteers)
developers, documenters etc. to take care of house keeping
things like reviewing PRs, fixing bugs on a more sustained
basis, maintaining the web site, infrastructure etc. For the
short term we have already earmarked 54 days of paid effort for
bug fixing leading up to the QGIS 3.0 release which is really
great. Andreas will correct me if I am wrong but I am sure we
still have budget to support more than 54 days of paid effort by
core developers and it would be really great to also include
people like Giovanni Manghi (bug triaging), Yves Jacolin,
Harrisou (documentation) and other contributors into the paid
contributor programme leading up to the release.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">But what about the PR queue? Is someone interested
and capable of devoting some days (on a for-pay basis) to go
through and apply all the ‘obvious’ PRs and dig in to the less
trivial ones? Andreas can we support this as well via our
budget?</div>
