[Qgis-developer] a lesson to be learned?

[Tim Sutton]

Hi Paolo

Well I've pondered these issues for QGIS too as I'm sure others have.  
Perhaps we should have put our idea of hiring a bug fixing developer  
to the vote first? I think there are numerous issues around gathering  
funds and then allocating them to one developer to do work. At the  
same time as long as QGIS is always a purely hobbyist project we will  
always struggle to get releases out -especially as QGIS grows in  
complexity.  Does anyone have any unhappiness towards the idea of  
hiring a bug squasher to get this release out? Personally I'm happy  
that we do this so that we can get this release out of the way and  
march on towards 1.0 release. I have this feeling that 1.0 is the  
'magic' time when existing developers can start to make a living as  
QGIS developers for hire....

Life always gets complicated when money enters the equation....

Regards

Tim
