Community goals
Qt Project Goals bring contributors and users together around improvements that span modules and benefit the wider project. A goal can address quality, tooling, documentation, platform support, or the experience of contributing. It gives people a shared direction for sustained work. See the development mailing-list announcement for the intention behind the process.
Each goal has champions who help turn that direction into action: they bring contributors together, keep the effort moving, and share progress with the community. You can help with a goal without becoming a champion. Read a proposal, join its discussion, and add yourself as a contributor where you want to take part.
Choosing goals for 2026–2028
The public Goals process combines votes and the number of people volunteering to contribute when selecting three priorities. The selected goals will be announced at the 2026 Qt Contributors Summit and remain in focus until the 2028 summit. The source checked on October 12, 2026, said voting was scheduled to close on October 19. Visit the proposal list to read proposals, join their discussions, and find ways to help.
Proposal snapshot
These are public proposals, not approved commitments. This list reflects a verified snapshot of the Qt Project Goals filter on 10 October 2026. The filter selected proposals created before 2 September 2026 with status “Ready for Vote”; it returned seven results. It is a dated selection, not a live list of all current or accepted Goals.
Lowering the barrier to contributions
QTCS-40 · Lowering the Barrier for Contributions proposes clearer triage and contribution paths, including ways to begin with documentation and a maintained list of newcomer tasks or mentors. The issue describes a goal proposal; it does not establish that those services are currently available.
Improving the Qt Project website
QTCS-41 · Improving the Qt Project Website proposes clearer project information, contribution guidance, visible update dates, and community publishing. Qt Town is an independent static community site and does not represent delivery or approval of that proposal.
An easier first setup
QTCS-28 · One Click easy to be a contributor proposes installer support for contributor prerequisites and onboarding. The issue notes that the implementation plan remains unresolved.

The issue links are the authority for current status and detail. The dated status above records what the filter returned during research, not a claim that every proposal remains in that state today.
