<p>Yesterday at a dinner with many well known friendly faces, a
discussion started about the priorization of issues.</p>
<p>One of the main problems when deciding which issues to tackle is,
that a developer perspective often differs from the one from the
average user perspective.</p>
<p>So we thought it might be a good idea to start giving our users a
bigger voice in how bugs are prioritized - and how the projects
funds are spent - by giving the developers more information about
the "impact footprint" of issue reports.</p>
<p><b>In short: if you particularly hate an issue (or two or three)
go to this issue on github and just give the first post of it a
thumbs up</b><b><span class="emoji">👍</span></b><b>.</b></p>
<p>The following link will then show the leaderboard of annoying
things<br>
</p>
<p><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc+label%3ABug">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Areactions-%2B1-desc+label%3ABug</a><br>
</p>
<p>While there is no guarantee that these bugs really will be solved
first (there are a couple of other things also to take into
account, like a well defined solution being at hand) this should
give us a much better (democratic) idea of the often-cited user
expectation.</p>
<p>Thanks for reading<br>
