In the next couple of weeks I'll begin working on this. The first step will
be the creation of some wiki pages to start gathering ideas and
contributions.

I don't know yet. The first thought was simply a python bridge, but the best
would be working at the data structures level to permit a low level
integration.
QGIS still needs some foundamental development on the raster side. It could
be a good occasion to work on both the tasks.

Could we start a dedicated wiki page?
