Of course, I would like to continue in my 2016 GSoC project, but there
is a problem with my internship at the Norwegian Institute for Nature
Research (NINA), as mentioned in my proposal. I'm afraid that I won't
be able to handle working on two completely different projects.

But in NINA, I will be working on sensor data, especially with istSOS.
I (and potential co-mentors) can see quite significant overlap, so I
expect synergies and mutual benefits.

But my last year project is not dead, it's just... hmmm...
hibernating. I have done some small changes in November and I still
have some notes with what I would like to improve. The nearest
improvement is creating module from those scripts - I'm just playing
with pyGrass, so I hope that I have some time before the start of this
year project (or before my NINA internship, if not accepted).
Another nice goal should be using this code to GRASS plugin for QGIS,
because QGIS has PyQt based GUI, but it's the future.

Yes, I'm planning also py3. But I didn't contemplated about qt5, I
have to study it first.
Please, feel free to create an issue on the github page [1]. I welcome
your comments and opinions.
