Hi All,

This is my report for Week 4 (June 4 - June 10):

What did you get done this week?

  • I finalized the library for parsing description files for QGIS Processing plugin. [1]
  • Add ‘Controversy decision’ in building the parser to wiki. [2]

What do you plan on doing next week?

  • Split GRASS module parameters in Processing plugin to basic and advanced tabs - it should be required and optional tab.
  • Check GRASS X QGIS parameter descriptions in order to take care of differences in terminology.

Are you blocked on anything?

  • No, at the moment I’m not blocked.

Nice !

I just tested it here, and noticed that the desc and xml file
description texts are in the locale defined language. Is this a desired
effect or should these texts be in English ?

I don't know how this was discussed with your mentors, but maybe some
of these decisions should be discussed on the mailing list ?

I did not think about it before, but It could be desired efect.Beacouse it is possible
to create english descriptions and import it manually to Processing plugin. But every
user can manually create own description files in user language and then manually
import them to processing.

That’s true, I added topics from discussions with my mentors to wiki [1]. And I will send
info about new decisions to ML, so everybody can give his opinion on it.

Hi Nyall,

Looks great again, making very nice progress!

I'm wondering, have you tried yet to generate a diff of the output of
your tool vs the current processing txt descriptions? I'd be keen to
see the results of this as soon as it can be done, because I suspect
this diff will reveal some issues in the current description files
which would be good to fix before 3.2 final release.

That is good idea, I want to do it this week.

Radek
