<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Just for information:</p>
<p>The shapefile issue: Sourcepole will be working on that - paid by state of Vorarlberg.</p>
<p>About finances: without knowing how much something costs - I can't answer - but in general - if it is not too expensive we can certainly pay someone to fix the area calculation issue. Nyall - any estimates? Do you want to work on that?</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

What am I speaking about?<br /><br />* qgis still computes wrong areas when OTF is on, see for example:<br /><a href="http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13209">http://hub.qgis.org/issues/13209</a><br /><br />this is one of the problems with areas, the others being that areas<br />are always computed in square meters even if the CRS is in feet, and<br />the other is that in virtual columns areas are always computed on a<br />plane (ignoring ellipsoid configuration)<br /><br /><br />* shapefile with geometries edited in qgis (deleted, splitted, etc)<br />are unusable in other gis packages, see:<br /><a href="http://hub.qgis.org/issues/11007">http://hub.qgis.org/issues/11007</a><br /><br /><br />as I said this are not recent issues, and in my point of view very very bad.<br /><br /></blockquote>

<div>Andreas could we allocate some funds for taking care of this and releasing 2.8.4? It seems like a very good way to spend donated project money.</div>
