[Qgis-user] Open attribute table in form view by default

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi all, 

I also think that a list of potential ways to support the QGIS project
(both with time/voluntary work or financial) would be useful, with
updates from time to time. 

Stefan, thanks for clarifying that NINA is a private organization. And
yes, crowd funding is also a good way to support new features, esp. for
larger efforts or feature wishes one cannot finance from within a single
organization. 

One idea with the goal of minimizing bureaucracy when trying to fund
smaller features from time to time is to buy an hourly pool (say 25, 50
or 100 hours) at the QGIS developer/supporter of your choice. I did that
at my previous employer and could then flexibly use this hourly pool to
get either support or trigger smaller fixes and developments.

You have probably only one local dealer, you get a price and you know more or less what you get for your money. Once you made your decision on a software, sat aside your annual license fees and accepted that this has to be payed, things go more or less automatically... With the legal entity, QGIS is maybe on a good way there. I could also imagine, that the grouping the many feature requests into (crowd) fundable packages might be helpful. In some cases the gentle push from a starting crowd funding activity (or when it is about to end) can be enough to make people to use some money...
