[Qgis-user] Check Geometries: nice tool, but bad integration

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi,

Actually, users-oriented-crowdfundings have proven quite successful in the
past. And it works something like this:

- A small number of non-developers members of the community (aka users)
discuss and gather ideas of how to improve or implement a certain feature;
- They contact one or more core developers with a requirements document to
understand if it's feasible and how much would it cost;
- They choose the best deal;
- Then, they launch a crowdfunding and do some marketing around it to
gather the necessary funds.
- Having gathered the money, the developer implements the new feature or
improvement, which becomes available in a next release.

Obviously, like every change in the code, the feature or improvement must
be somehow consensual, but I believe that check geometries tool is a good
candidate for this.
