Hi Stéphane,
Looks good! Go ahead and ask some devs for quotes. It may be that they
will have some feedback regarding your requirements.
Regarding the crowd funding itself. Some devs already did successful
crowd funding campaigns and have some experience with it. You can ask
the devs about it and what their opinion is. It may make sense to ask
for a minimum amount of contribution. It doesn't make sense to collect
very small amounts (e.g. 10 EUR) as the administrative overhead may
become too much of a burden (or you have to pay a lot of fees to crowd
funding providers). If you still want to do small donations, you have to
factor in that a commercial crowd funding provider often keeps 5-10 % of
the contributions (in combination with credit card fees and currency
conversions).
Thanks for taking the initiative!
Andreas

If there are any dev around who could have the interest / skills to implement this feature, can we somehow go concrete and work together on a feature description and tentative budget? The situation is obviously very different if we talk about 1.000 or 20.000EUR

I feel quite bad for asking for a new feature while not having the competences to contribute a tiny bit to its development but I really feel this is one of the few major missing features in QGIS right now (and will be happy to help on the feature requirements, the tests, etc.).

> When styling a discrete or boolean raster, there seems to be no direct method, only a few workarounds. The feature I dream of would do the following:
>
> * A new render type "Discrete raster"
> * One button allows to fetch all unique values form the raster (with a warning message if there are more than XXX unique values)
> * A color ramp is applied by default
> * I can multi-select values and apply them the same style and / or the same label
> * I can remove values. The pixels with those values will simply not be displayed
> * I can save my color map and load an existing color map
>
> So pretty much like the ArcGIS implementation: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#/representing_unique_categories_such_as_land_use/009t00000074000000/ [7]

> * The discrete values must be entered manually, which is a pain for a raster with many unique values (or if I don't know in advance what all values are)
> * If I click on CLASSIFY, QGIS will choose X values (based on the number of classes and the classification method (continuous or equal interval)), which no longer match the "exact" values of my raster. It doesn't really make sense to classify a discrete rendering
> * Although it is currently possible to style discrete rasters, the procedure is not really intuitive for beginners
