[QGIS-Developer] Integration of Zoo and QGIS

[Tim Sutton]

Dear QGIS devs

During the FOSS4G I had a nice catch up with Gérald Fenoy from the ZOO project. He had some interesting suggestions about integrating ZOO and QGIS. The benefit? The addition of many more processing algorithms to our collection. There are different alternatives we could look into but the main interesting ideas I think are:

1. Exposing QGIS 3 Server as a WPS server, making all the algorithms available in WPS via ZOO. I remember 3LIZ was working on WPS support in v2 but I dont know what the state of WPS options in QGIS 3 is.
2. Using ZOO as a WPS client in QGIS and wrapping the algorithms we find as local processing algs.
3. Potentially using ZOO as a WPS server running locally and exposing the algs they support to the processing framework

Is anybody interested in pursuing the idea of ZOO integration? Would you like to join us for a call to better understand the possibilities? If so please let me know and I will set up a call.

Regards

Tim
