[GRASS-dev] GRASS-TNG

[Hruby Martin]

Hello all,

I am Radek's supervisor in his master thesis which should be a part of 
this mentioned project. The project itself seems to be too huge to become 
an one-man-show. For this reason, we have started asking our friends and 
collegues in our country, like Martin Landa and Jachym Cepicky for their 
help and comments.

Opening idea is that GRASS is too old fashioned to keep it in development 
in current programming style. Some people will agree, some people not. We 
just want to remake the GIS kernel and to rewrite current modules to the 
new fashion. The whole philosophy of GRASS should remain the same.

So, this is a fork to main stream development. Or, better say, this is 
more a research. If someone wants to join, then is welcome ;-) This 
project may be a very nice experiment.

regards,

Martin Hruby
