Hi Valentin, My name is Sionigdha and I'm interested in contributing to QGIS through GSoC 2026.
While exploring the QGIS codebase I looked at OgrInfo.py in the GDAL processing algorithms and noticed that several GDAL ogrinfo capabilities are not exposed as typed parameters specifically -fid, -where, -spat, -geom, -fields, and -limit. Users currently have to use the raw EXTRA string field to access these, which is undiscoverable and unusable in processing models. This caught my attention because I've been contributing to GDAL for the past 3 months with multiple merged PRs including #13904 (adding --fid to gdalinfo/GDALVectorInfo, merged in GDAL 3.13.0), #13812 (WMS/WMTS network-dependent test improvements), and several documentation fixes. Full list: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pulls?q=author%3ASionigdha+is%3Amerged I've also been contributing directly to QGIS including PR #64620 (merged into QGIS 4.0.0) clarifying QgsLogger behavior, and several other documentation PRs targeting 4.0.0. Full list: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pulls?q=author%3ASionigdha+is%3Amerged I'm currently working on building QGIS from source as per Exercise 0 my machine has hardware constraints but I'm working through them. I've been working on a prototype patch that adds -where, -fid, and -spat as proper typed parameters to both ogrinfo and ogrinfojson, happy to share it shortly. My proposed project for GSoC would be: 1. Expose all missing ogrinfo parameters as typed, modelable inputs in both ogrinfo and ogrinfojson 2. Make ogrinfojson output structured and chainable within the processing framework field count, feature count, geometry type, extent as named outputs 3. Add a new ogrfeatureinfo processing algorithm that takes a layer + FID or WHERE clause and returns structured per-feature output field values, geometry type, WKT usable as inputs in processing models 4. Full test coverage for all additions targeting QGIS 4.x I'm comfortable in Python and PyQGIS, and I understand this targets QGIS 4.x with GDAL 3.13.0 as the baseline — which aligns directly with my GDAL work. Would you be open to discussing this as a GSoC 2026 proposal? Best, Sionigdha Sadhukhan GitHub: https://github.com/Sionigdha
