+1 to have a professional looking splash screen and moving the pictures to the about dialogue.

To keep file size small we could have the pictures somewhere on a web server and view then with QTWebkit or pull in the pictures from the network.

In the help menu we could also add a link to "github" and to the bug tracker "hub.qgis.org"

I kind of like the idea to have the most important web resources available from the help menu.

Hello,

The splash screen of master version is always a photo of the Hackfest crowd
..
And .. How would you include "one of the HF pictures" in splash? IMHO that
would not look nice ..
And where would you like to add the pictures of developers?

Why not add the pictures in the "about" pages ?
I had some remarks that having it as a splash screen does not look that "professional". No trouble to have that in master, but for release we should
have a nice-looking and well designed splash-screen.
My 2 cents,
Vincent


kind regards
Werner
