Hi Justin Having a cybertracker sequence generator in QGIS would be great. In general for open source the way to go is to build something that solves your own needs and then put it out there for others to use and contribute to. You will probably get much more useful and directed feedback if people have something (even an initial prototype) to play with that they can then kick the tyres and give you pointers on what additions would make it more useful.
