Comment(by mhugent):

 A great benefit of bringing the dialogs into the provider libs is that
 dialogs  could link to provider classes and using specific provider
 methods. E.g. the WMS dialog could pass the WMS capabilities document
 directly to the provider. Currently, WMS dialog fetches the capabilities
 and the WMS provider needs to fetch it again because the dialog has no
 possibility to communicate with the WMS provider directly (only through
 the provider interface that is common for all providers).

 Regarding grouping the addLayer buttons: I like it because it because of
 the additional space I get. Couldn't we just export the toolbutton such
 that plugins could add their buttons there too? Additionally, we talked
 about bringing wfs, gps plugins into app (or into providers depending on
 the outcome of above discussion).

 Regards,
 Marco
