Hi Stefano,

?aybe contact Nabble, as personally I am not aware that we arranged
something with them?

We use osgeo-mailing lists, I'm not aware of any changes recently.
Are other mailing lists affected?

Not addressing your general concern, but upgrading to GDAL 3.1.0 
will fix that particular point: update of .shp.zip is now supported. 
(performance will probably not be rocketting if the .shp.zip is too 
big)

We already have "GUI/UX" tag which is used to tag usability issues as well.

[Qgis-user] More user-information?

2020-06-06 Thread Richard Duivenvoorde
Hi,

Got a phone call from an (to me at unknown) QGIS user who asked: "I
opened a shapefile but I cannot edit it.. the little pencil stays
disabled... I googled for half an hour but cannot get it working".

After some Q&A, it appeared that he had opened the shapefile from a ZIP...

So I was wondering: should we be more forgiving to new users, and for
example write messages to the messagebox when people click disabled buttons?
(I googled that a disabled button apparently still fires signals)

I know that for the average QGIS dev/user this is not so strange, but
QGIS is full with "silly things for un-experienced" users. Ask everybody
who runs 'QGIS for beginners"-courses!

As (Q)GIS is becoming more and more used by non GIS-experts, it would be
nice if we give usability a more prominent role.

I also understand that talk is cheap, and making complex things easy is
VERY VERY hard, but still... We do have a lot of clever people around,
which can do this!

Ubuntu Linux some years ago had a project 'papercut': fix as many
'little' usability issues as was possible. And ask 'users' to come up
with those.
I'm not goint to self-injure us here by asking people to tell us here :-)

But what about a 'usability' tag in the issue tracker?
And assign some of the 'bug fix' money to those?
(and encourage people to create 'usability' issues... /me hiding now)

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

The deadline is on Friday, 12th June to allow for enough time to prepare

Again, I'd like to thank everyone who participated and helped ensure
that the QGIS 3.14 Pi visuals will look great.

Dear QGIS mappers,

As you may have noticed, the next release version will be 3.14 and
therefore, we will call it 'Pi'.

Usually our versions are named for community meeting locations and the
splash screen shows a map related to this location.

For 3.14 we are looking for creative maps that capture the essence of
Pi.

All submissions will receive an honorable mention in the release blog
post.

The winner will see their map on the release splash screen and banner
on qgis.org.

To participate, please submit your maps at
https://forms.gle/DbLL3BfvwYw33qfJ8

The deadline is 31st May 2020.

Regards,

Anita
