Actually the plugin was born in really speedy fashion. I think that at the moment it speaks for itself as it's actually very simple. I could test the UI on windows, if that's what you need, but to actually read the raster you need gdal recognizing postgis rasters so only for 1.7 builds. That's why i was able to alter it on windows. I can test the plugin part. I can't test GDAL part. QGIS is releasing a new version these weeks. I'm going to ask if is anyone going to compile a windows build with gdal 1.7 or (with luck) 1.8. What kind of demo do you need? I don't have a hosting for the plugin at the moment but I can produce some ubuntu's screenshots (or even a video). The plugin's fairly simple, though. For the next request (a tool to process the queries), QGIS does have a really nice tool called RT_Sql to execute PostGIS SQL queries. I don't really know if I should bring a new tool to the application doing almost the same thing with just different datasources. What can be done is to talk with the guys who developped RT_Sql and check if they don't want a little improvement to cope with raster layers too.
Anyway, there is still a mystic point for me: some processing returns vector and some return rasters (and I don'nt think that's all). That's... odd to cope with. I'm still giving some thought to it. I still need to read how postgis raster processing works and gives results.
