I'd say it's official, given that both @alexbruy and myself (who currently maintain most of this code) agree. that it's the way we want to see things go forward. > >> >> My super personal opinion: while I perfectly understand devs position on >> C++, I think we might miss some useful contributions from python only >> devs (like me :) ) and we lack of a "straight" way to add useful >> algorithms to QGIS. >> >> I see 2 options: >> >> * development of Processing plugins with algorithms that can lead to >> many plugins and difficulties to find them >> * have a "straight" way to add additional algorithms to QGIS, like the >> "Download scripts from collections" of QGIS 2 >> >> What is a general opinion about this topic? > > > I don't know about "general" but we do have the resource sharing plugin (not > sure about the current status of it though) and a "standard" python plugin > would also allow us to distribute processing plugins. +1 for a standard python plugin. If it's something you feel should definitely be available in qgis installs, then I'd say making the python version as a prototype and then opening a feature request for a c++ port is a good approach. Both Alex Bruy and myself have a history of adopting tickets like this and porting useful tools on a voluntary basis!
