Nyall, I really should get into some core development, but I have been hesitant since my C++ programming skills are 10 years out of date. How time flies.
Where is the best place to start if I were to try to start porting some of the functions into the core QGIS. Some of this would require incorporating additional C modules/libraries such as MGRS, Plus Codes, etc into the code base.
