Many of these QGIS users are very passionate about spreading the word of QGIS, and if given the opportunity would LOVE to contribute to QGIS.<br><br>If the argument keeps coming around to the problem of QGIS is the Users not contributing monies to the QGIS project the QGIS Project needs to ask, <br>
"How can the QGIS Project attract more investment?" , Not, "What is wrong with QGIS users not investing money in the project?"<br><br>Back to Quality Assurance,<br><br>I am more than happy to test the OS X version of QGIS<br>
<br>Sometimes when it comes down to a problem of a plugin, it would be nice if there would be some unified and clear way to report bugs (from a user point) to the appropriate place to report problems.<br><br>As it stands, the user base is increasing and so will the reports. <br>
<br>How can the QGIS Project make it easier for users to report bugs without feeling intimidated or confused as to how, <br>or that they are bothering developers or a burden to developers?<br><br>This should not be about Users vs Developers or Developers vs Users, just how each group can better aid each other.<br>
