MAVProxy GUI and module development

While MAVProxy serves as a fully-functional cross-platform portable ground control station software, the system lacks the presence of a Graphical User Interface making it more difficult to use as compared to other GCS like Mission Planner, QGroundControl etc. Also, the GCS can be improved by the addition of some modules to replace the commonly used cumbersome terminal commands. A major deliverable of this project would be the addition of a UI based parameter handling module with incremental search capabilities. With a recent increase in the number of users, academic researchers and developers working on swarms and multi-vehicle simultaneous control; a new module providing a few high-level commands to all the vehicles or to individual vehicles with a GUI based environment can potentially serve as a good addition to the GCS.
