[Qgis-developer] String freeze for 1.7.0 in effect
Hi All Please note that string freeze should now be in effect. Werner if you could update the ts files and get the translators to do their thing that would be great! Bug fixing can continue in trunk (but no string changes please), planned branch for release date remains at 7 April. We'll aim to get the release announcement out by 13 April so that we can start the hackfestdeveloper meeting...with 1.7 behind us Release team (Anita & Anne I'm looking at you! :-) and anyone else who is interested, could you help by turning the whats new list (see Help -> About -> Whats new?) into a visual changelog with fleshed out descriptions and lots of nice piccies? It would be nice to take the screenies all with the same desktop theme for visual consistency. We can just use wiki formatting as per 1.6.0 release and direct users to that wiki page on release. The release checklist on the wiki is up here: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Release_Checklist_1.7 And the visual changelog is here: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/VisualChangeLog1.7.0 Regards Tim -- Tim Sutton - QGIS Project Steering Committee Member (Release Manager) == Please do not email me off-list with technical support questions.

Should we also put some new screenshots on the website? If I recall correctly, most of them are still from 1.0 or even pre-1.0.

I think its ok to use mac/linux/ubuntu screenshots but standardised for each platform. eg. Linux: Gnome Clearlooks Win: WinXP 'toys r us' look Mac: ok no choice here :-) It would be actually nice to have on the front page the same project loaded on each platform and the three screenshots superimposed to give the user an immediate impression of 'this thing runs everywhere'.

If you can handle someone with a clearly untidy mind, I'm willing to help. If there are packages, I really don't mind what platform you want screenshots from. -ramon.

Hi all, I would recommend building something with the spearfish6 dataset, available with GRASS or from their website, I believe. You can create something fairly complex in appearance there. Just make sure everyone is working from the same projection now that raster OTF is implemented.
