Paolo,

Sure QGIS could do the visualisation, probably even by function calls with data 
in memory, not having to export GIS data sets to disk for every time step.

But Statkraft released ENKI under LGPL for a reason. Linking ENKI too closely 
with GPL QGIS will make ENKI unavailable for the commercial software sector. 
That would be bad news for the hydropower industry I hope will continue 
supporting ENKI development. From what I see now, there will still be a need to 
maintain ENKI as a standalone program, in addition to making the EnkiAPI core 
available for a QGIS plugin. 

All the best,

Sjur  :-)
