Hi, I also think that the most important thing now is to fix existing bugs and to test all Sextante algorithms. From what I see in the bugtracker, I suspect there are entire areas of Sextante that haven't been tested by anyone at all (there are almost no tickets for Orfeo for example). I've been using Sextante for a while and each time I work with it I end up filing quite a few bug reports.
At the moment I think that SAGA, GRASS, ftools and R integration make Sextante the most powerful geoprocessing platform thay I know of. So I would sugest prioritizing bug fixing and testing over integrating other backends/new tools. Thank you Victor once more for bringing Sextante to QGIS Best regards On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 11:27 AM, Bernd Vogelgesang <[email protected] > wrote: > Am 30.11.2012, 23:52 Uhr, schrieb Victor Olaya <[email protected]>: > > > Hi all >> >> As you might know, the SEXTANTE project started some time ago at the >> University of Extremadura (Spain), where I was working.
