@Nyall: good idea to do a write up! Besides on your blog, maybe we can
write a thorough page on the website to and make that very prominent. So
a link to that (translated) page could be the 'standard reply' for us?
And that page then has your points, but also makes it very clear that a
project as QGIS also needs hands, time and effort from it's *users* too.

My main point is that QGIS started (and still is) a volunteering
project. And to give users rather not so nuanced replies like: "plz pay
for this feature if you can" is not the message that I think we should
sent to the world.

I'm OK off course with sponsoring and hiring good developers to add
something to QGIS, but it is the tone that makes the musique (in french
it sounds better :-) ).

Andreas (thanks for this!) sent me a link to this article:
https://mako.cc/writing/funding_volunteers/funding_volunteers.html
which (at least to me) hits exactly the right spot. Plz all read it!

As a community we should try to stay friendly, open and correct. No need
to act like a business, as I hope/think a healthy community is in the
end stronger then a business.

Regards & thanks,

Richard
