Yes, we have sent the links to a couple of services for this. We also had a moderately successful initiative: http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Bugs The problems are IMHO: - the cost for the estimate (it is sometimes cheaper to do the job than to do the estimate) - the administrative work for this (for very simple fixes, taking care of payments and infrastructure can be heavier, and more boring, than the fix itself) - the reliability: we had (just one case) people promising money for a fix, that was done quickly and effectively, and never paid. Having said that, I agree that finding a simple and effective solution for this would be important for the future of QGIS. All the best. -- Paolo Cavallini: http://www.faunalia.it/pc _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
