[Geoserver-devel] Small donation to improve SLD interoperability with QGIS

I note from last weeks board f2f meeting that a small donation was made to GeoServer project to forward SLD interoperability with QGIS ( a source of frustration for the OSGeo community).

This donation of $1500 from OSGeo:UK for a specific task (QGIS/GeoServer SLD interoperability) which is a little unusual for a donation. The treasurer asks that we action this within a calendar year (to avoid treasurer overhead), and has added this to the OSGeo budget page.

Off the top of my head I can think of two decent approaches to improving QGIS SLD interoperability:

  • Set up QGIS to export an SLD export that makes use of GeoTools vendor options

  • Improve expression mapping from QGIS functions to GeoTools functions

Most of this work would seemly be done in GeoTools or QGIS respectively. Andrea you have more experience here, do you have any other suggestions for where improvement could be made?

Options to proceed:

  • Ask if any members of our community are willing to work on this - if so they could propose a small “statement of work”.
  • Write our own statement of work, possibly adding some of our own GeoServer budget into the mix, and invite interested parties to respond

My preference is to ask our community members (read party has obtained commit access).

Hi Jody,
GeoSolutions is keen to take on this. The evident missing bit right now it raster symbolize exchange, it
needs work on both sides, QGIS to export a SLD 1.1 raster symbolizer (completely missing right now),
and likely Geotools XSD parser (I see some support, but it’s likely missing bits here and there).

I don’t have a precise statement of work for it, we are going to put together one in the next few days

Cheers
Andrea
