Olá todos,

I'am already preparing crowdfunding campaign for GRASS plugin upgrade.
It will include:

- qgisgrasslib upgrade to GRASS 7
- single build with both GRASS 6 and 7 (GRASS version chosen by
environmental variables on start up)
- move plugin browser functionality to standard QGIS browser (meta
info widget, delete and rename action)
- implement raster and vector import via browser drag and drop
(including reprojection)
- new/open/close location tools upgrade to GRASS 7
- region editor upgrade to GRASS 7
- upgrade GRASS shell to the last qtermwidget
- modules GUI - my idea is to throw away the qgm and qgc definitions
and auto generate GUI for modules with all options based on
--interface-description only, also the list of modules would be auto
generated for all modules. The reason is my impression that there are
no volunteers willing to maintain qgm and qgc. If there are volunteers
to do that (no programming, xml editing only) let me know and I'll
include keeping of current system in the proposal.
- vector editing overall upgrade and enhancement more integrated with
standard QGIS tools
    - standard editing tools (e.g. node tool)
    - snapping to other layers
    - undo/redo
    - attribute forms
    - possibility to change topological symbology  via standard style dialog
    - standard rendering of not edited layers based on edited map
(i.e. draw filled polygons on background during editing)

I am currently coding proof of concept for vector editing to be sure
that it is feasible at all. I hope to launch the campaign in about 2-3
weeks.
