Re: [Qgis-developer] Defining the SEXTANTE roadmap
Hi all Thanks a lot for your ideas, there are definitely very good ones in here. I am going to try to put a detailed list of priorities and maybe some time estimations, so we can then focus our work more efficiently. As some of you mentioned that you have plans to work on these ideas,since they are of interest for you company/work/etc, (this is a great surprise!), I would just like to ask for some communication here in the list, so as to avoid duplicate work. For instance, support for databases as inputs and outputs was already on my priorities list. A good roadmap will help us divide the work and advance faster. I cannot thank you all enough for you help. It is really exciting to see how people are using SEXTANTE and helping us to push it forward.

Re: [Qgis-developer] Defining the SEXTANTE roadmap
Hi Victor, hi all, Let's start with the second point How do you think we should spend this money on SEXTANTE? I think the first point is to fixed bugs, the second like Vincent Picavet is Making sextante totally independant of qgis GUI, to be able to run sextante processes in batch in command line mode. We, at 3Liz, could spend some time on SEXTANTE and find fund to improve SEXTANTE. Some of our clients, mainly labs, can be insteresting in improving SEXTANTE in QGIS, SEXTANTE has a command line or SEXTANTE as a WPS Server.

Hi Victor, hi all, > Let's start with the second point How do you think we should spend > this money on SEXTANTE? At Oslandia our priorities for Sextante are : * PostGIS and spatialite support for sextante, as intermediary layers and parameterized queries as processes, with import/export processes too. * add a bunch of postgis/spatialite classical processes (nearest neigbours, deduplication, spatial join, shortest path...) * Making sextante totally independant of qgis GUI, to be able to run sextante processes in batch in command line mode This will open the door to use Sextante as a real WPS processes generator, with features not unlike an ETL (or ELT). We will try to spend some internally funded R&D time on the PostGIS support, probably early 2013. Apart from the R&D time we'll spend, we'll have resources for paid work if these topics are of interest, or on related topics with sextante. But meanwhile, the most important is probably what everybody underlined : consolidation. Bugfixing, qgis integration (in menus), documentation should be the top priorities. That's all for my christmas list :) Vincent ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
[Qgis-developer] Defining the SEXTANTE roadmap
Hi all As you might know, the SEXTANTE project started some time ago at the University of Extremadura (Spain), where I was working. I started creating the QGIS version at the beginning of this year, and now I do not work for the University, but I am still mantaining it. The University has some money that they would like to invest on improving SEXTANTE for QGIS, as this is the version they (and I personally share that) consider more relevant. I am not available for that task, as I have another job, but I would help coordinate the development in my spare time, as I do now. There are some priorities, which involve developing certain new analysis algorithms that are of interest, mostly for academic purposes, and creating good documentation about how to develop new SEXTANTE algorithms, so as to bring more developers in and ensure that SEXTANTE will keep on growing. But apart from that, we would like to hear from the community, to know what is better for SEXTANTE. So, in short: - The University has some money (not much...but some) and wants to invest it wisely - It is looking for ideas to define the work to do (apart from its particular interest), in order to turn SEXTANTE into a really powerful tool. - We are looking for someone to do this work. Let's start with the second point How do you think we should spend this money on SEXTANTE? Please, comment on this and help us push SEXTANTE forward. Many thanks in advance.
