[Qgis-psc] Survey results

[Vincent Picavet (ml)]

Hi,

Two remarks reading the results.
As for Paolo's remark, I personally did say I had to use other tools,
since I use QGIS with PostGIS and GRASS. The question was probably not
clear enough.

Another thing that strikes me is the question on "Which is your highest
priority for spending QGIS funds on" which does not seem understood as
"Which is your highest priority for spending the funds of the QGIS
association" but more like "where money should go for QGIS" in a general
sense.

And I agree to the lack of communication on features. In comments we
find demand for new things which actually already exist but apparently
are unknown.
