[Qgis-developer] Geocoding plugin: a good case for merge

[Alessandro Pasotti]

What about implement GDAL geocoding capabilities in core?

It should probably be implemented as an expression function too...

http://www.gdal.org/ogr__geocoding_8h.html
See: http://www.itopen.it/geocoding-with-gdal/

I don't see any real opportunity to merge the plugins: some of them are
very specific to national geocoders, some other just ignore the TOS of the
webservices they use.
