<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Good - so now we need someone to take the lead in approaching KDAB or other qt specialists.</p>
<p>I don't feel comfortable doing that, because I am not a qt/c++ dev and don't speak their language, but as soon as we have an estimate how much it would cost to fix upstream issues - and it is affordable for us, I can help you get a contract going between the qt specialist and <a href="http://QGIS.ORG" target="_blank">QGIS.ORG</a>.</p>
<p>So who would feel comfortable approaching KDAB or alternative companies?</p>
<p>Andreas</p>

<br>Great! I personally see this as no different to hiring Even to<br>implement fixes in GDAL which directly affect QGIS.
