Hi,
I think it would be relatively easy to provide the functionality of
exporting metadata from QGIS to a pycsw server in the form of a
publishing plugin, similar to the one creating map files for MapServer.
Thoughts?

Personally, I'd see more advantages in enhancing the CSW client capability of
QGIS,
so it can harvest data & specifically allow users to add catalogued OGC
WMS/WCS/WFS
services to the list of stored services, instead of adding them manually. If
you are
developing a metadata catalogue capability, I'm happy to support a client
capability,
any server capability is not likely to be of use for us, though it may be for
those
using QGIS in a server capacity in other ways.
Agreed. Much room for cooperation on this subject.
We have funded Sourcepole to develop a plugin which harvests a list of WxS
service
URLs & basic metadata from a list in a web page
(http://www.niwa.co.nz/ei/feeds/report) and allows users to select layers as
predefined favourites, and some other stuff...
I'm planning to enhance this in the near future. We are currently funding an
enhancement to Geonetwork to improve the harvesting facilities for metadata
provided
in WxS services, and once this is complete, will be funding changes to our QGIS
plugin to enable CWS harvesting from Geonetwork instead of from the above web
page.
As I do have funds to provide such specific capability, if you can align your
projects to meet our requirements, I'm quite happy to work with other QGIS
developers
to mutual benefit.
Cool. I think we can work jointly on this. We also have some funding for this.
Where
can we find the plugin?
One comment on your requests for donations and funding for QGIS, I've asked a
few
times on this list for developers to undertake paid work to provide specific
enhancements for QGIS, and have been surprised at the lack of response. 3
developers
expressing interest is about the best I have received, sometimes zero.
Yes, I'm aware of the issue. IMHO this is a consequence of QGIS huge success:
probably all available core devs are already overstretched, and full of work.
New devs are flocking in, but there is still need for more.
So any initiative to find new developers, and encouraging (financially, among
other
things) newcomers is quite important at this stage.
All the best.
