Yes, everything inside PyWPS and being called from inside the code. The
same concerning QGIS, our code needs to be properly done so that it will
be easy to write a plugin to QGIS, meaning "import pywps", a bit like I
wrote in the wiki:

Yes, maybe also some nice web page interface ???

This is just an extension from point 1, it will be "natural" to
implement it

I'm not certain what you mean as web processing server, you mean a
complete application supporting HTTP calls ???? A sort of framework ?

To many chefs in the kitchen can be a disaster :) I've recalled that you
also wanted XML parsing capabilities in the output (in debug mode).  A
template approach for the output would be faster. BUT to many components
break the KISS approach, for me is not a problem.
