It would probably not surprise most QGIS users that many use QGIS and gis tools above their pay spectrum, personal interest, passion, volunteer and education. Many of these QGIS users are very passionate about spreading the word of QGIS, and if given the opportunity would LOVE to contribute to QGIS. If the argument keeps coming around to the problem of QGIS is the Users not contributing monies to the QGIS project the QGIS Project needs to ask, "How can the QGIS Project attract more investment?" , Not, "What is wrong with QGIS users not investing money in the project?" Back to Quality Assurance, I am more than happy to test the OS X version of QGIS Sometimes when it comes down to a problem of a plugin, it would be nice if there would be some unified and clear way to report bugs (from a user point) to the appropriate place to report problems. As it stands, the user base is increasing and so will the reports. How can the QGIS Project make it easier for users to report bugs without feeling intimidated or confused as to how, or that they are bothering developers or a burden to developers? This should not be about Users vs Developers or Developers vs Users, just how each group can better aid each other.
