Please explain plugin usefulness #16

Closed pcav closed 6 years ago

pcav commented 6 years ago

The functionality described in the About seems already present in core QGIS. In particular, just loading an xml file will add all WMS and WFS services at will. Please clarify what the plugin is actually adding. Sorry for bothering, but we are trying hard not to duplicate functionality, so to reduce confusion for the users and administrative burden. Thanks.

Apologies for the delay. I have updated the README.md file here and within the plugin. This is somewhat like the Greek open data plugin, but the service list is not static, being obtained from a web harvest weekly. Currently it does not have a predefined service selection. It will continue to evolve and we expect it to remain as experimental for some time.

Thanks. Could you please add the into to the about.txt as well, both in the source and in the plugins.qgis.org interface? Thanks.
