Re: [QGIS-Developer] Download troubles? Download in the background?

[Selma Vidimlic via QGIS-Developer]

Hello,

In my opinion, the recent improvements made to the download page appear to
be quite user-friendly and I don't have anything to add on that.

Now moving on to the support page
, it would be helpful
to begin with a friendly introduction to clarify the nature of support
within QGIS.org. In my opinion, it's important to emphasize that QGIS.org,
as a part of the open-source ethos, primarily relies on community
collaboration and does not offer direct, individualized support. Instead,
we encourage users to actively engage with our community through mailing
lists and communication channels...

So, my suggestion for the text would be:

"Welcome to our support page! At QGIS.org, we're all about fostering a
collaborative and supportive community for our users. While we don't offer
direct, one-on-one support ourselves, we've created a space where you can
connect with others who share your passion for QGIS.

We've set up mailing lists and various communication channels where you can
engage with fellow users and our dedicated developers. However, we
understand that there may be times when you require personalized assistance
or wish to explore more comprehensive support options. For such cases, you
can contact one of the support providers offering commercial support
."

I believe clarification of QGIS.org support will reduce questions about
donations and expected support...

Regarding the donation page, the description provided by Jean-François
Bourdon seems clear and effective.

Greetings,

Selma.

[QGIS-Developer] SpatialJoinSummary

[Paolo Tormene via QGIS-Developer]

Hello. I noticed that the processing algorithm
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/release-3_32/python/plugins/processing/algs/qgis/SpatialJoinSummary.py
is not present in master (see
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/master/python/plugins/processing/algs/qgis/SpatialJoinSummary.py).
Was it intentionally removed? If so, was it replaced by anything similar?
Thank you in advance,
Paolo

Re: [QGIS-Developer] Next QGIS LTR and its compatibility with older versions

Thanks; I had figured that out over the years, but great to say it
again.

This ".0" isn't considered stable, while reasonable, is pretty unusual.
Perhaps the only other example is gcc.  It might be a clue that beta/rc
don't get used, and you need a release to get feedback -- having
maintained other projects, I get that.

It would be good for all .0 releases to carry a Big Scary Warning, and
to specifically request that packages not be updated to them.  Maybe you
are already doing that; I am hazy on when and where I see release
announcements -- I am assuming there is email to the users list.

(My bias is that qgis the project releases sources and packaging systems
package and provide binaries, and that qgis the project doing binaries
is remedial because the (mostly windows) packaging world is not working
well.  Hence source announcements being the standard path and the most
important thing.)

(A packaging system might have packages for each branch, in which case a
.0 package is fine.  But a packaging system with one package should not
update.)
