I am hoping to revitalise the QGIS Network API plugin project that I mentored for GSoC last year - it needs porting to QGIS3 and probably some more documentation. For anyone who doesn't know it, it makes QGIS expose a network API service so that clients can call defined QGIS functions. So using th

I'm sure sf is the future for spatial objects. There are not too many examples and resources to be found on the web still, but I ported one of my (poor scripts) from sp to sf. It's now maybe 25% of code and maybe 10 times faster. Though there are numerous packages with dependencies for sp, wh

As a long-time R spatial developer and QGIS user I'll be glad to help out - but time-poor at work for now. "Helping out" may be more like "making unreasonable suggestions" and "finding annoying bugs". For example, can we find a more efficient way to transfer data from QGIS to R? Can the new `sf`

Hi all, my perception is that, although niche, thi is however largely used. The problem is that it is difficult to reach these users, so a crowdfunding widely annouced through blogs and social media could be a good way to go. I suspect these users will quitely keep on using 2.18, which IMHO is subo

Hi all - QGIS 3 is pretty magical* but I miss the R provider! We have a bunch of R scripts for our flightplanning and mapmaking wildlife work that were super handy and will be sorely missed. I don’t have the Python skills to port the 2.18 plugin to 3.0 (yet!) but would be interested in (a) tr
