[Qgis-psc] Discussion on the QGIS grant proposals

[Marco Hugentobler]

Hi Andreas

Do you think it is necessary to discuss the proposals in a mailing list 
before voting? The voting members should have access to the project 
descriptions and they are familiar with the QGIS project.

There might be the problem that good proposals from people without 
community networking are rejected (similar as it happens in politics 
that good ideas are not considered because the major political parties 
do not support them).

Regards,
Marco
