Hi Alexandre (also posting on user-)
I 100% agree with you and I would love to somehow give back to QGIS (I did already, but at a small scale). I mostly wanted to know if I am the only one to wish for this feature. Apparently not the case: many have expressed the same wish! Now funding: I would love to have a rough idea what "not very expensive" means. If there are any dev around who could have the interest / skills to implement this feature, can we somehow go concrete and work together on a feature description and tentative budget? The situation is obviously very different if we talk about 1.000 or 20.000€ Cheers Stéphane Le jeudi 12 janvier 2017, Alexandre Neto <[email protected]> a écrit : > Hello Stéphane, > > IMHO, since it seems that you are not able/willing to sponsor the feature > yourself, sounds like a good opportunity for a small crowdfunding. > > That way you would be able to contribute back to QGIS by giving your time > in finding a developer able to do it, setting up the crowdfunding, > advertise it, pay for part of it and so on. > > It looks like a simple feature. it should not be very expensive (much less > than an ArcGIS license for sure), and if you think many people need this, > then the money will be easy to raise. > > Alexandre Neto > > Stéphane Henriod <[email protected] > <javascript:_e(%7B%7D,'cvml','[email protected]');>> escreveu no dia > quarta, 11/01/2017 às 11:37: > >> One last message for today (sorry for spamming!) >> >> It seems that this feature would actually be wished by "many" people (see >> the ticket and the talks on user-).
