Hi

 
  Public access to source repository is not available, but we will try
  to release some useful parts of the project during the development -
  PostGIS manager plugin is an example. There's Trac running for our
  project, those interested can take a look at the progress:
  http://urtax.ms.mff.cuni.cz/qgis-mapper/
 
 This sounds quite useful and ambitious. I look forward to seeing the  
 fruits of your efforts.
 

Me too! If you are developing in your own, what are your plans in terms
of integration into QGIS trunk? I guess you need to modify core to some
degree and then plan to put the rest of functionality out into python
plugin space? I would welcome better renderer implementation (ideally
that supports SLD spec).

Regards

Tim

We'd like to integrate as much as possible directly into QGIS trunk.
There will be quite some changes for core library. As there should be
stable API for 1.x releases, we will have to integrate new features
with care. Some things will be maybe shifted to 2.0 release if it
won't be possible to integrate them to 1.x branch.

Briefly what's planned for new renderer implementation:
- multi-layer symbols (the greatest change)
- more symbol layer types - e.g. simple line, marker line ...
- rendering with special order (to allow drawing good-looking roads
with outline)
- rendering is done directly in renderer, not in vector layer
- catalog of symbology

I don't know whether it will be compatible with SLD specification,
I'm not very familiar with it... How far from SLD is QGIS now?
