[OSGeo-UK] MINUTES - OSGeo:UK - January 2014

[Jonathan Moules]

Hi,
Further to " [14-2] Raise a QGIS feature request for improving the
interface for adding WMTS layers", coincidently earlier this morning I
raised a related issue on the QGIS dev list:

http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Consistency-in-adding-layers-especially-OGC-td5100402.html

Is this something others in the UK geocommunity are interested in
particularly? Maybe there are some resources that could be pooled.

There was also an issue with not being able to add WMTS layers to QGIS 2.0,
but this has been fixed in master.

Cheers,
Jonathan
