My 2c is that I think we should let the resource sharing plugin get a little more used and established before extending its reach into other parts of the code base. This will probably only really start happening when 3.0 gets out in the wild.... You did do such a great job on last year's GSOC - why not look at some other areas of the codebase. I am sure there are plenty of ideas flying around but some you might consider: * Building on the work form Matthias Kuhn and Sandro Mani to improve and mainstream the QGIS Globe 3D plugin * Adding support for mixed geometry layers to QGIS * Get QGIS to work in one of the VR / AR platforms (Cardboard / Microsoft Hololens / Oculus Rift / HTC Vive) etc. * Making QGIS work with Tangible Landscape (as a replacement for Grass) - see https://tangible-landscape.github.io <https://tangible-landscape.github.io/> - doubly cool if you take advantage of the nice new stuff Nyall has been showing off at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jsYRxmnWkI <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jsYRxmnWkI> so that we can do spatial animations over the landscape * Getting the automatic digitizing tool to work against images (by doing edge detection or using some image processing smarts to predict where the user is wanting to digitizing) Thats my 5 minute brain dump, and probably not as cool a list as others will come up with :-) Regards Tim > > Cheers > -- > ------------------- > > Akbar Gumbira > www.akbargumbira.com > <http://www.akbargumbira.com/>_______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer — Tim Sutton Co-founder: Kartoza Project chair: QGIS.org Visit http://kartoza.com <http://kartoza.com/> to find out about open source: Desktop GIS programming services Geospatial web development GIS Training Consulting Services Skype: timlinux IRC: timlinux on #qgis at freenode.net Kartoza is a merger between Linfiniti and Afrispatial
