[Qgis-user] Announcing QEP 419: Improved Wayland compatibility

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Nyall,

Thank you for this initiative. Sounds useful to me.

As a reminder: we still have a significant number of consulting/development
hours at KDAB available to support such an effort, if it is useful to reach
the goal.

Greetings,
Andreas
