Hi Andrew, see also https://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/roadmap.html#release-schedule you can see that while 2.18x is not officially an LT version, there are a number of updates planned for 2.18x - so it's almost like an LT version ... The next 2.18 release will, besides bug

[Qgis-developer] Issue with vector menu and localization

Hi, There is a localization issue with the vector menu in QGIS 2.18x When I have english as my GUI language I have one vector menu (nice), but when I switch to german I end up with two vector menus: "Vektor" (contains plugins) and "Vector" (contains all the Processing stuff (former fTools)).

Hi, It would be fine for me to have a double dev cycle for 3.0. Devs should have enough time to make proper decisions and work on the API. And python devs probably also need more time to get their most important plugins in shape for the new API, qt5 and Python 3. Perhaps it would be good to

Hi Paolo, hm - not sure. If you have a .pgpass file it may take credentials from the .pgpass file. Not sure what you mean "from the system" - you mean the credentials from the operating system? Yes - this is another fallback mechanism - but it depends how you configured your PostgreSQL

I think it needs a core dev familiar on the code base (specifically server situation) to decide what needs to be done under the hood. I propose to ask Marco Hugentobler to take a technical lead on this, since he started QGIS server and should be familiar with the issues. Other devs can of course

Hi Paolo / Tudor, I agree that the QGIS server improvements should be started. But you need a clear plan on what to do in what order. Requirements need to go first, otherwise there is no point in selecting devs, getting quotes/estimates and doing a crowd-funding. And probably, several devs will
