Hmm... If I remember correctly, when Processing Framework project was started we also have discussion which language to use Python or C++. And decision was to use Python... I think the goal was to use Python to get the design fleshed out and running, with the idea to port it to C++ in the future. - Nathan ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

Personally I find it much easier to prototype API in Python and then move it to C++. Like this it is possible save a lot of development time when designing and doing lots of modifications in API - typing, compiling, fixing compilation errors, synchronizing .h and .cpp files etc. Martin ___ Qgis-developer mailing list Qgis-developer@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer

I think it would be good to have a full suite of tools for manipulating vector objects and layers. These tools should be ports of fTools to C++ and live in the analysis lib so that they can be used in C++, Python and UI (Carson and I have talked about this before). I think this project would be good as it is tightly scoped and would be easy to mange in chunks. Merging would also be easy, even merging as the project moves along as each tool is independent. Nathan, fTools should probably experience some core/gui decoupling first - I remember the individual tools contained a mixture of algorithm logic and gui stuff handling (progress bar etc). After that, the tools should ideally implement a common interface, to allow easy running of the tools from API (instead of having to use slightly different calls for each tool). For that we need a simple processing framework - during last year's GSoC such framework has been developed as a side effect - but it still lacks various important things such as: show job progress, cancel running job or asynchronous job execution. Therefore a summer project could involve adding missing functionality, porting from python to c++ for inclusion in qgis_analysis library and possibly adding few modules from fTools to demonstrate the capabilities.

One first thing we have to decide is whether to participate within the OSGeo framework. This seems a natural choice, but there are possible shortcomings: - it is possible that we'll have more chances (an higher number of accepted projects) running alone, due to Google priorities - less motivation by mentors (they do not receive any financial incentive, that goes to OSGeo instead).
