I don’t think it would be so big thing to implement since GeoServer support it via the gdal extension

As far as I know this feature would be pretty new. What are the possible actions of the analysis? One option might be to completely rely on the default WPS processes of GeoServer. First suggestion is to develop a pluggable extension like other contribs apps https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-contribs

> * config search service / create,edit search service
> * export map application to mapstore config format, WMC format
> * import map context file: MapStore legacy format, WMC and vector layer files: shapefiles (must be contained in zip archives), KML/KMZ, GeoJSON, Annotations or GPX to map application
> * add/edit Catalog layer service
I’m not an expert of MapStore but it is a customized version, please have a look here https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-mapstore-client/tree/master/geonode_mapstore_client/client/js. Also, please note that GeoNode has a native concept of maps and the configuration for each of them is injected into MapStore so I guess what you are looking for is a bit weird imho

> 4. We have created a few custom plug-ins that adding something on the displaying map, but  those stuff won't be on the printed output. Any suggestions on how do we customize the printing module to include those things?
Again it’s likely I’m not the best person to answer here but the print plugin is in the MapStore js client https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode-mapstore-client/blob/5cfa963051b054439f750cb15eea9fb4656d6e97/geonode_mapstore_client/client/js/previewPlugins.js#L56. Also, please note that this functionality is provided server side by GeoServer if I’m not wrong so it actually depends on the customization that you are looking for.
