Hi!
There is still the Poll about Which Version of Windows are you using?
Currently 75% are using 64Bit Versions and 25% are using 32Bit Versions ..

Hi Werner,
You can take this poll off the webpage.
The poll supports my hypothesis that the majority of the QGIS Windows

Hi,
I could support a part of the work for a 64 bit version if needed.
That would be very much usefull for 2.0 here here. Last discussions I

Hoi Joaquim,
Thank you for your reply.
As it seems now, Jürgen can invest the time to work on it - and with
collaborative efforts and one major sponsor (Vorarlberg) we should be
able to finance it.
Jürgens main goal is to automate the build with the OSGeo4W build
system, so that the OSGeo4W
