[Qgis-psc] Question: review of standard development rates for 2022?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Nyall,

We can certainly revise the rates from time to time.

It is also clear that rates and inflation rates are different in 
different parts of the world - on the other side - most of our devs who 
participate in the bug fixing effort seem to be in the Euro zone or 
Australia in your case.

Any suggestions for a revised rate? 110? 120?

At the beginning - when we introduced the rates - we already 
communicated that the rates would be lower than the normal industry 
rates, which are probably somewhere between 150 and 220.
