The QGIS project relies on a strong foundation of both technical and documentation work to support its global community of users. It’s a team effort, with roles like Full-Stack Web Developers, Documentation Writers, and many other contributors all working together to make sure the project’s websites, infrastructure, and documentation stay functional, accessible, and up to date.

In this session, we’ll take a closer look at what goes into maintaining and growing QGIS. A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly for QGIS users and contributors, from maintaining and improving the QGIS.org websites to documenting new features and improvements.

We’ll highlight some key achievements over the past year. For the websites, we will talk about the overhaul of the plugins’ website, the new resources hub and much more. For the documentation we will present better documentation practices and some insights from our User survey from the end of 2024, that help us to create 2025 Documentation goals. We’ll also discuss the challenges we’ve faced, what we’ve learned along the way, and how we’re continuing to improve QGIS’s online presence and documentation.

Finally, we’ll share what’s on the horizon for the coming year, outlining our goals and plans for new improvements.

Whether you’re a user, a contributor, or a QGIS enthusiast, this session will give you a deeper understanding of the ongoing work that keeps QGIS moving forward.
