Super interesting to read @timlinux vision for #QGIS from 3 years ago: blog.qgis.org/2017/08/25/plotting-the-future-of-qgis/
-
1. Analytical capabilities: #R support is back. #Jupyter integration is still an open issue
-
2. 'First open' experience: recent versions come with support for project templates and list last used projects
-
3. Communication with users: the recently added news panel enables us to reach out to users to inform them about project news
-
4. Quality assurance: good test coverage for core and rewriting essential Processing functionality in C++ have increased stability significantly
-
5. Project finances: thanks to all sustaining members and donors, we have been able to grow our funds for improving documentation and infrastructure as well as for fixing bugs
-
6. Error reporting: if something goes wrong, it's now easier to access stack traces and reports issues
-
7. Community diversity: looking at the group picture from Bucharest, it's clear that there's room for improvement here
-
8. Provider relations: the certification process is becoming a great tool to better integrate training providers into the community
-
9. QGIS.ORG: starting an association certainly was a learning process but the size of the QGIS project requires a solid organization
-
10. Signed installers: are available for all platforms and we've reached a point where installers for all major platforms are available shortly after the release
-
11. Pull request handling: core devs will be better qualified to judge our advances in this area.
-
12. Intergalactic domination: a work in progress - but this planet is advancing nicely 🌎🌍🌏 thanks to the global #QGIS community!
