Thanks Vasilios,
I think many would welcome the landing of a good and robust support of
MongoDB in QGIS; on the other hand, we're trying hard to reduce the
duplication of efforts and the confusion for the plugins end users,
hence my suggestion.
Moreover, the upcoming QGIS 3 will require some effort in porting the
plugins, so a smaller number of plugins with stronger dev teams will
have better chances.
Vasilios, could you please quickly recall here the strengths of each
plugin? And, to help us understanding, could you also point to a sample
DB so we can do some tests?
BTW, there is also http://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/mongo_memorizer/
Are the other plugins authors listening here? If not, better to also
contact them directly.
All the best, and thanks again.
