I still think the appearance of sextante dialogs do not seem too much in line with QGIS look, so maybe you can ask someone to help with the GUI. > 1) The classification of algorithms is done manually...and it is > boooooring to do :-) SAGA and QGIS ones are already done, but I have > to do the GRASS ones.

So in short I would not put GRASS as a second class citizen in Sextante ;) > 2) I would like to have in that list, only those algorithms that > need no extra configuration, to make that the default and have it > working out-of the box.

The usual effect of showing it is jaw-dropping. Removing stuff from first sight may have deeper consequences than a clever developer can foresee, sometimes :) > good idea.
