[Qgis-psc] Proposal to invest into improved Geopackage support

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi, 

I would propose that we invest 1-2 dev-weeks into someone who improves
our geopackage support that we can sooner or later retire ESRI
shapefiles. 

I would like to see the following improvements: 

- proper support in DB-manager (or is someone working on this already?) 

- for all of the vector operations (menu vector) I would like to see a
possibility to save the output in Geopackage (plus potentially in every
supported format) 

- test that our generated Geopackage actually can be opened in other GIS
- this can also be outsourced to our users ... 

I think that this should be a core effort, as most users would benefit,
but for many years no organization was willing to pay for it, including
my own organization. 

What do you think?
