<div class="">Cool idea.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Since GRASS is a global project, how about one of the first truly global like Mercator's of 1569 (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cartography#/image/File:Mercator_1569.png" class="">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cartography#/image/File:Mercator_1569.png</a>)
or Ortelius' of 1570 (<a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cartography#/image/File:OrteliusWorldMap1570.jpg" class="">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cartography#/image/File:OrteliusWorldMap1570.jpg</a>)?<br class="">
<br class="">
Better images than these from Wikipedia probably exist.</div>

<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;">With such a map, we could have a slightly different message on the splash screen too. Maybe something like</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;">GRASS. Bringing advanced geospatial technologies to the world.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;">OR</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;">GRASS. Advanced geospatial technology for everyone.</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;"><br class="">
</div>
<div class="" style="font-family: BitstreamVeraSerif-Roman;">Anyway. Those are a couple of ideas.</div>

Hi,<br class="">
<br class="">
I'd suggest, in order to clearly distinguish G6 from G7, to replace<br class="">
the current splash screen for the upcoming G7.0.0 release.<br class="">
We may consider to get community contributions for this.<br class="">
<br class="">
What do you think?<br class="">
