[Qgis-psc] Visual changelog

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi Andreas,
I share most concerns and that's why we proposed the "SWOT" meeting to
learn experience from that release process.
Let's meet this afternoon!
Regards,
Régis

> For the user, a release is only ready if:
>
> * Binary packages are ready for Windows, OSX and Ubuntu/Debian
>
> * API documentation is finished
>
> * the visual changelog is ready (currently, it is nowhere close to being
> ready - will need several man-days of work)
>
> * some concerted effort is being done to announce it on several channels
> (with some document as a guideline)
>
> * some plan for documentation is in place
>
> Preannouncing that "QGIS 3 is ready" in such a state will only disappoint
> users a lot.
>
> Am I the only one bothered by that fact?
>
> Note that the documentation and the changelog are both areas where non-dev
> contributors can help. But apparently, there is no coordinated effort on
> both.
>
> Can we do better for future releases?
>
> Thanks,
>
