Ok cool thanks

If there is 20k, even better from my point of view!

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?

Yes if we use the community members to vote on it that will be great. We still need to figure out how to orchestrate such voting in order to make the administration of it not too much of a nightmare. I guess we set up an invite only loomio group for voting member polls, or I go and polish up the voting module we have been working on in the changelog app to make it ready for using in this kind of situation. I guess by the time all the applications come in we can have something in place to handle the voting.

Regarding emails in the proposals - yes I guess we can figure something out.

Regards

Tim

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:
