Hi,

earlier posts said that a port to ARM architecture should not be too big of 
a problem.

I do not remember the details, but my conclusion was: Just wait, no 
problems to expect.

But I have to admit that I own a MacBook Pro from 2019 and do not plan to 
change in the next five or more years. I would hesitate to buy ARM architecture 
in the next 12 months anyway.

Best,
Maria

Hi Michael,

Thanks for offering your help. Happy to welcome more experimented writers.
Documentation sources are available at
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation, with a list of features to
document at  https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/issues. You can
find some contribution guidelines at
https://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/documentation_guidelines/index.html
but feel free to ask if anything is unclear.
As Andreas mentioned, you can also join the qgis-community-team list (
https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-community-team) where we
sometimes hold "meta" discussion on the future of the documentation.

Greetings,
Harrissou

2020-07-10 Thread Andreas Neumann
Hi Michael, 


Or you could buy a used Intel Mac that is only 1-3 years old. I would
assume that many Apple afficionados are eager to jump to new hardware
and would give away the old Intel stuff for a bargain. If QGIS is
important to you, that might be a better deal than becoming an early
adopter of arm hardware and suffer from all the early problems. Over the
years - after all the major problems are solved, I would agree that a
more energy efficient processor sounds compelling. 


About documentation: documenter are always welcome. The introduction can
be found at https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/document.html -
there is a dedicated mailing list for documenters and you need a github
account. 

Thanks in advance for your efforts in joining the documentation team! 

Greetings, 

Andreas

That is a wise decision. 


Similar to the switch between PowerPC and Intel one can expect that old
software will "just run", but will have "inferior" performance until all
the upstream libraries introduce more processor specific optimizations. 


Even Rouault from GDAL/OGR - an important library for QGIS - already
mentioned that there are optimizations existing specifically for the
Intel processors, but no or few for the arm processor platform. 


It is probably wise if you keep the older Intel based Macs for the next
2-3 years and let other people experience the initial problems of a new
platform.

Hi,

I do not remember the details, but my conclusion was: Just wait, no problems to expect. 

But I have to admit that I own a MacBook Pro from 2019 and do not plan to change in the next five or more years. I would hesitate to buy ARM architecture in the next 12 months anyway.

Hi

We have already ported QGIS to iOS for Input app (https://inputapp.io and
https://github.com/lutraconsulting/input-sdk/tree/master/ios). iOS is ARM
based architecture. Hence, it should be possible and straightforward to
support the new mac ARM too. It also depends on the upstream support from
Apple, Qt, Python...

Kind regards
Saber
