Epic fail
The initiative by kCube Consulting that they started last December failed miserably. The idea was that a full-time developer from this company would work on QGIS for half a year, and after discussion, the main focus of the work was determined — bug fixing. This may not be very interesting, but it is certainly useful.
Six months have passed… Nobody has seen the promised monthly reports. A search of the bugtracker reveals only 6 (six!) issues where our hero has “done” anything. Of these 6 bugs, only 2 (two, really?!) are actually closed, and one patch has been almost completely reworked by one of the core developers.
There is nothing to add other than the words from the post title.
