Hello all,<div><br></div><div>I'm looking for a good Google Summer of Code project. Having used QGIS and being a proficient Python/GIS programmer I think its the perfect fit. I did some googling and saw that there is already some interest in a GDAL/OGR front end, but I would really like to take this full on. The OGR-converter plugin is not complete, as it can't do CRS transforms, and I hate to say I don't find it very intuitive. Furthermore I think a lot of the GDAL/OGR functionality should be able to be done "in-place" on layers, so one could easily create a new layer from an existing one.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I think unifying CRS related options could also go a long way, using GDAL to support more than just proj4 definitions and being able to create a custom CRS from any place that you can select them.</div>
<div>Maybe its because my single biggest headache in learning GIS was dealing with projections, and now that I understand them through the command line I want to make it easier on others to deal with them. I think QGIS can be the perfect tool for this because it is already great for visualization.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Please give me your feedback on this!</div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div><div>--<br>Ian Johnson<br>
