I think the approach to let voting members decide as we did last time (https://www.loomio.org/d/38Aiya0q/3-0-soft-freeze-exemptions) works fine. * This committee includes several technical members * Everyone is free to vote or not, based on self-evaluation of knowledge * Particular questions concerning the mentioned gray area can be formulated on a case-by-case basis Matthias _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
