[Qgis-psc] The inevitable question: extending freeze for 3.0?

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi all,
+1 for that extra time.
Can we ask every developer to display what work is in progress somewhere so
that we can ensure not adding last minute new feature and coordinate
ourselves?

>From Oslandia's perspective I can see :

- Grant application for Postgres transactions groups (undo/redo,
executeSQL). Notify-LISTEN part could make it in 3.0 with the delay - QEP
#97
- Auxiliary storage in QGIS - QEP #27 (project as a zip container, editable
joins, dynamic forms with joined fields ...)
- Node tool improvements ( batch vertex selection - #16844 )
- Visual snapping indicator - issue #15119
- Don't snap on not displayed features #16838
<https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16838>. Almost a fix but could also be seen
as a feature.

And of course, QGIS server stuff :)

I can help keeping the bugtracker up to date with those tasks so that we
have a clearer view.

All the best,
Régis
