     10== Abstract ==
     11Currently, GRASS integration in QGIS is hard to maintain. There are two QGIS plugins - Processing and GRASS Plugin, which differs each other. This proposal is focused on Processing plugin. Processing plugin is at this moment maintained by QGIS developers in core Git repository. This situation has been discussed in the QGIS and GRASS GIS mailing lists several times. GUI dialogues of the Processing plugin are generated from manually maintained text UI description files.
     12
     13== Goal ==
     14My goal is to design a Python library (and possibly also a GRASS module based on this library) which allows creating this text UI files automatically from generated GRASS XML description. This library also has to simplify and divide parameters for QGIS. This approach would be similar to the function of SAGA (or OTB) Processing plugin integration QGIS.
     15
     16After this addition will be possible to generate text UI files for new GRASS modules (added to the core or even for add-ons) in an automated way. These generated UI files can be part of Git repository, but in future could be generated automatically during QGIS compilation, when a user installs GRASS Addon module using Processing plugin, or on the fly when the GUI is started.
