my 2 cents: * Ensure people have trust in the Qt Company (again) by publicly guaranteeing that (the essential parts of) Qt will always be available under LGPL. Reconsider the LTS decision. * Advertise it when things like the qt.labs.calendar items (previously only available under marketplace licenses, never for Qt 6) become available under LGPL (hopefully I am not mistaken here). * More love for the Desktop ;-) * Get rid of the V4 complexity (hello qmlsc/qmltc). Added on top of the scenegraph wizardry it is incredible difficult for non-insiders to help analyzing/debugging problems in this area. Also I'm not aware of any public technical documentation about how this stuff actually works. * Offer commercial licenses under terms hardly anybody can refuse ;-) Technically: Contributing documentation should be easier. Sometimes it's just about adding little notes about things you've learned during development that should be shared in the documentation. Currently you can easily spend hours of work to get a single sentence in. Setting up a local environment only to allow previewing/checking documentation is way too complicated (at least that was my impression when trying to do that last time, maybe this has changed with Q6/cmake?)
