[Qgis-psc] Discussion our financial situation

[Matthias Kuhn]

Hi Andreas,

Yes, I remember this. I also invested some time into AppVeyor back then 
and the timeouts.

Finding a reliable solution and exploring possibilities will be an 
investment in itself already. I think that with a good financial 
situation, it's also a good possibility for the project to invest into 
such an area with a potentially great benefit. But it's ultimately the 
PSC's decision if the project prefers to sponsor this work or hope for 
it to happen and outsource the work and risks.
