Something that has been mentioned by a few people, and would probably be very popular, I described like this:
"Vector editing/geoprocessing tools or whatever they are called, like the ones found in the Mapinfo 'Object' menu - i.e. similar to ftools, but taking sets of selected features as inputs, instead of whole layers." http://woostuff.wordpress.com/2011/05/17/the-things-i-would-like-to-see-in-qgis-what-are-yours/ http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2011-May/012041.html Later in that second thread someone also mentioned the following; I think other people have also made similar requests/suggestions: "I guess implementing topology rules and visualizing the existing errors would be a way to identify and correct problems like polygon overlapping. It might already exist some code." This second idea would probably require more research and thinking about exactly what to do. I think both these ideas are complementary, and could perhaps be done in a single project. But I guess they are also features that might be able to attract other sponsors - you might think it is better to use Google money to do something which is unlikely to get sponsorship otherwise. Regards, Alister Somebody started working on a plugin similar to this (early last year I think), but it didn't get very far. > Date: Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:31:02 +0100 > From: jr.morre...@enoreth.net > Subject: Re: [Qgis-developer] GSoC ideas > To: <qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org> > Message-ID: <ee204f37fdb370744d28a4c105369...@enoreth.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > On Tue, 21 Feb 2012 17:03:15 +0200, Alexander Bruy wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > Google Summer of Code 2012 is announced few weeks ago and as far as > > I know OSGeo will participate.
