[Qgis-developer] GGL2 - QGIS integration

[Víctor González]

Hi,

Yes, exactly. We plan to implement the same behavior as in gvSIG. You can
see this in some videos.

Referencing GIS layers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHJ3pFHHe6U
Adding new layers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcTTUMGuL5Q

We know that it could also be interesting to use GGL2 from within Qgis,
integrating with Sextante. But as Fernando said, it is out of the budget so
it will have to wait a little more.

Víctor.
