I do have just basic skills of it. It seems that it's not a big deal to learn it in depth (i.e. OOP). So let's move forward with Python. As I said previously in my other postings, I'll start focusing on task A as starting point. In the meanwhile, it'll be great to have an idea on the framework that you'll provide.<u></u><u></u></span></pre>

</div><p class="MsoNormal">Abdoul, what's your familiarity with Python over C++? For QGIS plugins (our initial intention) Python is the way to go and offers better accessibility via the plugin installer.

Hi Lee,<br><br>I think that's a good idea to formalize the project further. I believe that we should start from what you already suggested regarding the different tasks. We can work from that starting point. Can you take the lead so everyone can add his (her) suggestions ? This will help obviously to get on truck and to make sure that<span style="font-size:13.5pt"> </span>we are moving on to the right direction.<br>
<br>I was wondering about the design of the software / system / plugin : e.g. building classes, inheritance, ...Or maybe it's to early?<br><br>In the meanwhile, I'll start looking at A1.<br><br>All the best <u></u><u></u></p>
