I just started out this project, its less than a week old. I just thought to share for those that might be interested in GIS programming.

PS: I am not a GIS or python guru [I've only used python for personal utility tools including.. https://github.com/yemikudaisi/subtitle-search ] (in fact, I had to brush up on python for this project). So it's safe to say a beginner can join in on this project and improve along the way.

Also, once I reach my required milestone, the source for the project will be merged with another closed source project (which is why i started it anyway) so it will be nice to have contributors to support GIS Lite development even after I've reached my milestone and probably redirected my attention.

See current progress in screenshot below, all the tools in display have been implemented. Follow link for project https://github.com/yemikudaisi/GIS-Lite
