Hi Anita, all
Congratulations to all the winning proposals, we have some very good
projects confirmed. Also thanks a lot for running the grant proposal
process perfectly smooth.
Also thanks to all the voting members for taking the time to read up on
the proposals and participate in the democratic process.
We have noticed that the settings registry was again not prioritized. We
are unsure, what exactly the reason was. The other proposals were very
high quality indeed. Maybe it was not deemed important enough, maybe the
conclusion was that it would be easy to find external sponsors or maybe
it was not presented or titled "sexy" enough.
Whatever it may have been, we are convinced that it would be very good
for the QGIS codebase, plugin ecosystem and users. It will
- reduce the risk for wrong usage of settings (recent bug e.g. [1])
- make it easier for plugin developers to properly use settings
- add semantics to settings, it opens up the way to generate a UI for
settings (the same way it's already possible to generate UIs for
processing parameters)
To provide this leap forward with respect to settings management,
OPENGIS.ch would like to jump in and sponsor the missing 2.4K € to
implement this proposal.
If you would like to follow up on this, please let me know.
Thank you very much
Matthias
