Nyall, Great initiative! The sooner a plan can be agreed upon, the better.
Coincidentally to your QEP proposal, I came up with an alternative timeline idea over the last few days that would avoid skipping a release cycle but still give us enough time to complete the port to Qt5. Basically, we begin the development cycle of both 2.14 LTR _as well as_ 3.0 at the same time, following the public release of 2.12. The simultaneous overlapping development of those two versions (for the first four months) would have two distinct objectives and release dates: - for 2.14 LTR, the development cycle would last 4 months and would be released, as planned, on 26.02.2016 with a focus on stability and bugfix based on the feedback from users on 2.12 (small-ish new features could be pushed too) - for 3.0, the development cycle would last 8 months, with the first four months overlapping with the development of 2.14 LTR, and be released on 26.06.2016 (as our 4-month release cycle would have it following the release of 2.14 LTR) with a focus on porting QGIS to Qt5 and python 3 as well as significant new features. This alternate timeline proposal both speeds up the delivery of QGIS 3.0 as well as insuring QGIS 2.14 LTR is shipped with a focus on stability as devs can push new features onto QGIS 3.0. Thoughts?
