Hi Tim,<br class="">
<br class="">
Amazing to see how big some deployments are.<br class="">
<br class="">
If we could get $1 donation from each user, we would have enough
finances to employ several people full-time (extrapolating from the
existing poll). $1 would be not a lot to ask for per user.<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>Yeah I have been watching the results come in with great interest. Yes I made some discrete enquiries with a couple of developers to give me some idea of what we would need to pay them to hire them full time for 1 year at a time. I think if we get a good idea of how much we need to fund some full time developers we can hold a dedicated funding drive. I think especially if we can demonstrate that the work that we put <a href="http://QGIS.org" class="">QGIS.org</a> staff onto is well aligned with the priorities of the community, we should have a good chance of success.</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">
<br class="">
------------------<br class="">
<br class="">
The other interesting result is that somewhat the answers are
contradicting - an example:<br class="">
<br class="">
39.7% say the use the LTR version, but then if you ask which version
they use for prooduction work, the majority suddenly uses 2.10
(48%). <br class="">
<br class="">
I wonder if people really know and understand what LTR is?<br class=""></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div><div>That is a good question :-) One that surprises me is that the majority of people prioritised new features for QGIS (at least bug fixing was a close second).</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Regards</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Tim</div><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" class="">

<div class="">We would like to better understand how you are
using QGIS so that we can improve the way that we
manage the project. We have compiled this short
survey, and would be most appreciative if you could
take a few minutes to complete it for us. All
responses are anonymous and we will share the results
with the community so that we can all benefit from the
insights gained. You can find the survey here:</div>

</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">Could I also ask you to publicise the survey on
twitter / facebook etc. so that we can get as broad a
range of opinions as possible.</div>
