Hi all.
Back from an intensive short course on QGIS analysis, here are a few notes on sextante:
* grass import takes really too long for global data; this makes it pretty limited,
especially when using in models, where one has to convert to and from several times;
two possible solutions:
  * keep the same internal format when two analyses use the same backend (I know
Radim already discussed about this)
  * use v.external whenever possible
* in the manual [0] there is a reference to iterators for vectors, but I cannot find
the function: am I missing something, or is the manual outdated?
* I would be keen on starting with saga documentation; can we agree on a format, and
a way to share it between help and manual, so we can start? I have been checking
other analytical software, and I think having the manual pages at hand when doing
analyses seems widespread, and a good way to go; overall, the scope is not very
different between the two; I'd be grateful if someone could decide, set up the
structure, and give us a template.
All the best.
