[Qgis-developer] Qgis Server and Python. Which solutions to have a python API?

[kimaidou]

Hi Giovanni,

* The print service will be supported in the next version. Not yet to
follow the "release often" mantra
* We think rights management must be kept simple for users. This is why we
choose deliberately to manage rights per repositories and not per project
nor layers. We think it is very easy to set up several dedicated projects
with Qgis to fit the need to protect some layers. One simple project a.qgs
for readers with layer A and B and this configuration, another
mrpresident.qgs for the big boss with all the secret layers and all the
zoom available, etc.
* Why not though add in the future the possibility to manage permissions on
request type (getCapabilities, getMap, getFeatureInfo, etc.).
