Barry,
Yes the raster routines could use a lot more work. I got involved
because I wanted some basic stretching capabilities which were listed as
available but not actually implemented and I have a little bit of time
to contribute, then came the requests for the transparency capabilities ;).
Here is a link to the wiki page with a little more on what is being done
right now http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/RasterTransparencyBranch
As far as helping, help is always welcome, but that is a questions that
should be directed toward Tim. But here is my take on the current
modification. I think the first step is to just get the basics covered
and working again, then focus on really modifying the raster rendering
routines more of the "way they should be" as a next phase. There is also
a lot of interest in trying to integrate OSSIM into QGIS, which may in
the end change the development direction considerable. However, I think
one of the most important things is it getting QGIS to a stable release
of version 1.0, so some additional changes/new ideas may be tabled by
the lead developers to keep progress on track (again a topic more suited
to be answered by Gary and Tim).
If there is a critical mass of raster contributers forming it may be
good to have an IRC meeting sometime in the future to layout development
plans and responsibilities, or at least a running list on the wiki.
cheers,
-pete
