While I think that is a good idea in general. I don't, personally, think it applies in this case.<div><br></div><div>- Vector Layer Generalization for QGIS</div><div> From what I understand of the proposal, it will be a more lower level core QGIS thing. Implemented at the rendering/fetching level into to speed up vector layer drawing. Not really a post process step.</div>
<div><br></div><div>-QGIS tool for vector data merging</div><div>This should be more core IMO too. While I love SEXTANTE, and what is being done with it, I don't think this is analysis per sa. IMO it would be implemented in core C++ and have a public API in order to wrap it into a SEXTANTE plugin in Python. As QGIS already has a semi-decent merge tool I don't see this proposal as a lot of work - mainly merging of objects might be a problem.</div>

One question/suggestion: is it possible to have some kind of<br>
link/coordination between GSoC projects? I am saying this because the<br>
main aim of the " Orfeo Toolbox backend for the Sextante framework in<br>
QGIS" one is to improve SEXTANTE and add new tools to it, but it would<br>
be a bad idea not to try to incorporate the result of other ones line<br>
"Vector Layer Generalization for QGIS" or " QGIS tool for vector data<br>
merging" into SEXTANTE as well. If, as we discussed in Lyon, the idea<br>
is to try to have a common place for all analysis tools, it is not a<br>
good start if new proposals of analytical tools do not get included in<br>
that common framework.<br>
<br>
I will be more than pleased to help whoever works on those<br>
projects(mentors and students), in order to have the routines and<br>
methods incorporated as SEXTANTE algorithms as well. It might be some<br>
extra work, but i think it is worth the effort.<br>
