[Qgis-psc] Resource Sharing plugin in core?

[Régis Haubourg]

Hi Paolo, +1 for this feature to be part of the core.

However, we tried in 3.0 to reduce the number of core plugins to avoid
maintenance issues, startup slowdowns etc...

I'd really much like this feature to be native one and not a plugin to
keep a lean core.  Maybe we could open somewhere a list of suggested
fundings that are not critical and will not be funded on QGIS.org
budget. That could give ideas to funders not knowing what to fund. I
personnally would have loved such a list when I had hands on a budget.

Best regards

Régis
