[Qgis-developer] Defining the SEXTANTE roadmap

[Vincent Picavet]

Hi Victor, hi all,

At Oslandia our priorities for Sextante are :
* PostGIS and spatialite support for sextante, as intermediary layers and 
parameterized queries as processes, with import/export processes too.
* add a bunch of postgis/spatialite classical processes (nearest neigbours, 
deduplication, spatial join, shortest path...)
* Making sextante totally independant of qgis GUI, to be able to run sextante 
processes in batch in command line mode

This will open the door to use Sextante as a real WPS processes generator, 
with features not unlike an ETL (or ELT).

We will try to spend some internally funded R&D time on the PostGIS support, 
probably early 2013.
Apart from the R&D time we'll spend, we'll have resources for paid work if 
these topics are of interest, or on related topics with sextante.

But meanwhile, the most important is probably what everybody underlined : 
consolidation. Bugfixing, qgis integration (in menus), documentation should be 
the top priorities.

That's all for my christmas list :)
