[Qgis-user] What QGIS plugin development should I work on this year?

[Luigi Pirelli]

IMHO doing a more generic STAC browser plugin, the actual one is too tight
to planetary compùter microsoft STAC api (mainly due to different auth
procedures depending on stac endpoint)... because hard to contribute to
actual stac plugin due to work overhead of the author (we have PR since
months), would make sense to start from scratch with an more open
architecture.
IMHO STAC catalogs are so important that a generic plugin can't be stacked
to a single provider only.
