Hi Tim,

I miss your email in which you stated the 3 FTools options, and copy
your options below from the lists.osgeo.org lists:

(From Tim's email:)>>>
So I see three options:

1) make small band-aid fixes to fix immediate issues
2) try to sponsor e.g. Nyall or Jürgen to completely rewrite in C++ and
have python bindings added so that they can be used from processing
3) try to sponsor e.g. Victor to implement as processing algs and then
just wrap them as actions in the vector menu
<<< (End copy Tim's email)

One point I like to make is that I think point 2 looks like a waste of
time and energy to me, IF(!) it is really true that SP already did this
but keeping it for their own version until they have time to merge.
Off course everybody has the right to sell and make money from QGIS, but
having a seat in PSC and keeping stuff away from your own community does
not sound OK to me.
But I hope I'm just plain wrong and do not understand the problem :-)
