# Community goals Shared priorities and public proposals for the Qt Project. Snapshot: `6569b73d1aca6e4f521a0a89d707b386dbff92935491f05b82adf360d22f65ce` Date range: 2026-01-01 – 2026-11-11 UTC (inclusive). Built: 2026-11-11T17:39:37Z Repository coverage: 46 of 46 declared top-level modules, plus qt5.git. Statistics follow each module's declared development branch. The independent project catalog includes Qt Creator on its selected ref; other projects and unselected refs remain gaps. Nested third-party dependencies and release-only activity are outside this inventory. Oldest successful repository source check: 2026-11-11T17:38:44.324Z. Managed collection fetches declared refs directly from canonical Qt repositories. [Qt Town home](index.md) · [Get started](get-started.md) · [Find a reviewer](reviewers.md) · [Activity](activity.md) · [Contributors](contributors.md) · [The Qt year](year.md) · [Goals](goals.md) · [Governance](governance.md) · [How it works](methodology.md) 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](https://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2026-July/047290.html) 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](https://wiki.qt.io/Category:Goals) 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](https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_Contributors_Summit_2026) 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](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/issues/?filter=23976) 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](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-40) 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](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-41) 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](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-28) proposes installer support for contributor prerequisites and onboarding. The issue notes that the implementation plan remains unresolved. ## Other proposals in the dated filter - [QTCS-20 · Filling QUIP-23 Qt-Security markings with life](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-20) - [QTCS-22 · Make Qt Feel Native Again](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-22) - [QTCS-39 · Task Tree Everywhere](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-39) - [QTCS-42 · Qt Programming Languages beyond C++](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTCS-42) 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. --- A Qt community project, built with Qt and QDoc ## Qt community destinations [Discuss development](https://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development) · [Ask on Qt Forum](https://forum.qt.io/) · [Review changes in Gerrit](https://codereview.qt-project.org/) · [Browse issues in Jira](https://qt-project.atlassian.net/) · [Read the Qt Wiki](https://wiki.qt.io/) · [Read Qt documentation](https://doc.qt.io/) ### Publication tools [Read the method](methodology.md) · [Publication manifest](../data/snapshots/6569b73d1aca6e4f521a0a89d707b386dbff92935491f05b82adf360d22f65ce.json) · [Report a problem](methodology.md#about-qt-town-and-corrections) · [Community conduct and safety](governance.md#community-conduct) · [Interactive website](https://qt.town/)
