Hi, 

If we really publish the responses of the grant proposals in public -
can't we remove the emails at least? Pubishing e-mails on the web leads
to more spam - really annoying ..

It would make the process more transparent and democratic and give them an actual useful task and some influence on the project. Otherwise this group of voters isn't used much really - other than maybe approving what the PSC does and eventually approving and reelecting the PSC. Having such a task for this group of voters would make the process more interesting and help to establish our structures. What do you think?

The intention of the QGIS Grant Programme is to make if possible to work on parts of QGIS that typically are not funded via contracts with clients and typically do not attract volunteers to work on. We are looking for ideas that are for the good of the project that everybody who uses QGIS will benefit from. To apply for the QGIS Grant Programme, please visit this page:
