Hi all.
Sorry for crossposting. As some of you know, the r.li suite of GRASS commands allows landscape analyses[0]. Its interface is rather complex, and is still in TclTk, not ported to either wxpython or qgis. As such, it is now more difficult to use than it should be, and it will become unusable when TclTk support will be dropped.
The possible solution (thanks Radim) is to rewrite the interface as a qgis python plugin. It should not be a huge work (we provisionally estimate 2-3 weeks).
The question is: is there anybody willing to invest either his/her time, or some money, to write such a plugin?
We (Faunalia) would be happy to help if necessary.
All the best.

Hi,
I just looked at r.li.setup's .tcl files. it is some
work but as you say not a huge amount to port it to
another GUI frontend. (circa one dozen functions,
~1000 lines of code)
there is no reason to only do qgis or wxPython, we
should do both!
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass/trunk/raster/r.li/r.li.setup
the bigger issue for r.li was r.li.daemon et al
using UNIXisms which didn't work on MS Windows..
but IIRC Glynn already fixed that in grass7?

So you are volunteering for both? Great news!

AFAIK it works also on win.
All the best.

BTW: what is the current status of r.li.setup.py? It's present in GRASS 7 source code but not used in menudata.xml.

Hi Maciek,
the r.li.setup.py in the source code is just a stub, it's not functional
at all. Feel all free to edit/drop it according to future development.
