About large files: I'm just worried by the overhead with data export and import between QGis and SAGA. That's why I was interested in a low level data structure binding between the two environments. But as I've said, it can be an improvements eventually, in case it will really result to be an issue...<div>
<br></div><div>I hope your GSoC proposal will be accepted! I'm an earth scientist too (geologist), and I'm going thorugh the same way of you: passion for IT and OSS, and programming. Now I would like some more "earth" back in my daily work, but we can't have eveything! :)</div>
<div>So good luck Camilo!</div><div>I will support this project as much as I can. I don't have founded projects in this moment for that, but I will be happy to spare some of my free time on it.</div><div><br></div><div>
Back to the module. Are we sure that offering two options (with or without saga_api) is feasible? I mean from the point of view of the effort. Probably you have already investigated this...</div><div>I was also wondeing about two points:</div>
<div><br></div><div> - should the plugin accept only layers previously loaded in QGis? This is the way Sextante works inside Gvsig (I suppose you know it). It enables only the plugins that accept the type of layer actually loaded (eg, vector inputs, raster inputs, etc.). Another possibility is to let the user choose wether to use a layer already loaded or browse for it on the filesytem (or db, etc.).</div>
<div> - would you provide the saga-python module with the plugin? We could offer it, specifying wich version of SAGA it was been built for, to help those users which can't build the plugin by their own...</div><div><br>
</div><div>See you,</div><div>giovanni</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">2011/4/3 Camilo Polymeris <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cpolymeris@gmail.com">cpolymeris@gmail.com</a>></span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
Hello OSgeo<br>
<br>
I have submitted a Google Summer* of Code student proposal to continue<br>
work on the "SAGA to QGIS plugin" I started coding.<br>
It is available through the GSoC page [3]. Any comments are welcome,<br>
(and mentors, too :)<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Camilo<br>
