[QGIS-Developer] Add a WFS/WMS (or possibly any data source) from API

[Janvier Thomas]

Hi all,

I'm looking for an automated/scriptable method to publish (and update) an organization-wide set of webservices.
The idea is to deploy  a "collection of data resources" as a collection of WMS/WFS, among an organization...
It's intended to be maintainable (update/add/remove links on-the-fly) so all coworkers will have access to the same datafeeds without having to manually add each URL (especially for non-expert users).

My first thought was to provide a plugin that only job would be to register "connections" at launch and update the version of such plugin along with the connections list then deploy the update through an internal QGIS repo...
But I did not find how to "register" the webservices through the API (I found tons of doc about how to request them to serve layers, nothing on the "add connection to sources")...

Thanks in advance !
