| 4 | 1 | During [[2. QGIS Hackfest in Vienna 2009|QGIS hackfest]] the idea of an ecological toolbox has popped up, thanks mainly to Johannes Signer. |
|
| 5 | 1 | Among currently available solutions, we thought about Hawth's tools and some other Arc* plugins; other tools, like Conefar and Circuitscape, are dedicated GIS clones and could not cover all analysis requirements, therefore obliging the user to switch among different programs, that often implies different formats and consequent unuseful extra work. |

| 7 | 1 | See the "discussion on Qgis'user mailing list":http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/qgis-user/2009-November/006843.html for what has been said so far. |

| 9 | 1 | The actualisation of this idea needs at least 3 steps: |
|
| 10 | 1 | * Identify the most common operations and algorithms: feel free to fill the section below |
|
| 11 | 1 | * Consider picking up code from GRASS, R and other relevant open source program/library |
|
| 12 | 1 | * Find a comfortable way to distribute it (customised QGIS? toolbox? separated plugins? library?) |
