Hi John and Valentin,

Actually, there was a QGIS GSoC project that developed a QGIS Plugin. It
was the QGIS Resource Sharing Plugin
<https://github.com/QGIS-Contribution/QGIS-ResourceSharing/> (started as
GSoC 2016, and the development is now taken over by the community).

But I agree with Valentin, the idea of the new plugin is perhaps not so
fitting for the GSoC Project for QGIS unless it can improve the QGIS
project/ecosystem in general, like the QGIS Resource Sharing Plugin.

And yes, I also agree that the network analysis might be a good idea. But
not sure if most users prefer to use other tools as the "engine" and use
QGIS as the interface only.

Good luck anyway!

Best regards.
