I think first we should fix as much bugs as possible (now there are 76 tickets in bugtracker). Also important topics are: - i18n support (most strings are not translatable, some algorithms can't handle non-ASCII filenames etc) - moving some native algorithms (fTools, GDALTools) to SEXTANTE to avoid duplication and make them more powerful. Some work already done, but we need to finish it - maybe improving documentation (IMO SEXTANTE documentation is pretty good, both from user and developer point of view) -- Alexander Bruy ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user

Victor Hi Victor, when i saw the first annoucements for SEXTANTE in QGIS, i was really excited, and your responsiveness for this matter is really great. So, i would give the money to YOU ;) In a foreseeable future, the current plugin presentation in the standard menus and toolbar-icons will not be able to hold all functions in a comfortable way anymore. I personally think, the SEXTANTE approach (though i have NO idea what's technically behind it and what it was basically intended for) should become the core means for accessing functionalities in QGIS. ... actually like the ArcGIS-Toolbox, the only thing i really like on that software compared to the current QGIS way... It would be great if in the future, new (or rewritten) plugins could be designed directly towards a sextante integration (so if not possible to completely integrate, at least make the function findable through the search and then fire the custom form). Another thing i would really like to see in sextante and in qgis in general would be to be able to drag and drop layers into the forms instead of having to fumble through dozens of layers in a drop-down only. So that was my wishlist.

Re: [Qgis-user] Defining the SEXTANTE roadmap
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 bernd.vogelges...@gmx.de wrote: Am 30.11.2012, 23:52 Uhr, schrieb Victor Olaya vola...@gmail.com: Hi all As you might know, the SEXTANTE project started some time ago at the University of Extremadura (Spain), where I was working.
