[Qgis-psc] Visual changelog

[Tim Sutton]

Hi

All good points Andreas. For the visual changelog I have made a few calls for help already - it is a huge work for this release but we didn't get much help on it yet.

I think though there is nothing wrong with messaging ‘our code is frozen, binaries are coming, stand by for the release announcements’ - at least people who follow us see what is coming…

Yes it will be good to chat about in the swot session...

Regards

Tim

I just needs some coordination - e.g. 3-5 people distribute the work load. Then it would only be some 1-2 days of work for each one. For 3.2 release it will be less work, because I expect less features than with 3.0
