Plan to implement import functionality sobek 1dflow

We plan to provide import functionality for the following formats:

Network files

We are going to develop this using sobek conv as a starting point.

We will start implementing import for current sobek network and provide import of
-nodes (Connection node, boundary, linkage node)
-branches/reaches
-cross sections

Based on experience to import sobek network an estimate will be provided for making import functionality for other network types.

Implementation detail
Sobek conv provides import for most fileformats required. Maybe we can use it as a dll and wrap it by c#.
Fewsdata import plugin wrapped by ikvm will allow to import 50 fileformats. A trial of about two days may be performed to see how difficult it is to wrap this plugin by c#.
Habitat project will start implementation of GDALL wrapper. This will result in functionality to import many known fileformats such as ESRI, AUTODESK, etc.

Import plugin will need to provide a wizard for importing from known fileformats (to select parts of the data you want to import from the source). Making this wizard wil require about ?? days.

First we will have to provide further specifications of wizard functionality (2 days)
