[ForestryTools] Forestry tools

[Jake Maier]

Abdoul, and others,

I’m also interested to learn python. I have experience of some prehistoric
programming languages from 20 years ago. Do you know about some introduction
manual to get a picture of the program and command structure of Python?

Thanks

Jake

Hi Lee,
 
I'm not a specialist of Python. 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.
 
Let's move forward.

I'll play with the wiki page further over the holiday (memorial day)
weekend. Hopefully that will give us a little bit more framework to move
forward. I'll concentrate on a minimum for a usable tool that can be
released, with the hope that will attract additional interest and
participation in the project.

>From my basic thought process I think that's:

A. Ability to enter data and link it to plots/stands.
B. Generate simple stand/stocking reports with a minimum set of options.

At a basic level, I'll leave software design decisions to those more capable
than myself. In this effort, I'll make a far better soldier than a general.
That said, I'm happy to provide more leadership on the design/use/project
management side.

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. C++ may have some benefits, but would be a bit
more difficult for the average user to install.

Hi Lee,

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 we are moving on to the right direction.

I was wondering about the design of the software / system / plugin : e.g.
building classes, inheritance, ...Or maybe it's to early?

In the meanwhile, I'll start looking at A1.

All the best
