Yeah I have been watching the results come in with great interest. Yes I made some discrete enquiries with a couple of developers to give me some idea of what we would need to pay them to hire them full time for 1 year at a time. I think if we get a good idea of how much we need to fund some full time developers we can hold a dedicated funding drive. I think especially if we can demonstrate that the work that we put QGIS.org <http://qgis.org/> staff onto is well aligned with the priorities of the community, we should have a good chance of success.

That is a good question :-) One that surprises me is that the majority of people prioritised new features for QGIS (at least bug fixing was a close second).

We have compiled this short survey, and would be most appreciative if you could take a few minutes to complete it for us. All responses are anonymous and we will share the results with the community so that we can all benefit from the insights gained. You can find the survey here:
