Yes! That would be a great opportunity, not to be missed. I think we 
should definitely participate. What does that require from us? (In SoC 
we needed to assign a Mentor) The user interfaces could use guidelines 
from usability experts, to point out things which we might take for 
granted, streamlining the UI and maybe something else.

As I said I think we should use this opportunity as long as we have the 
means. I'm always interested in talking about usability for GRASS. Hope 
we get some more interest then in the past...
