 \section{What is GRASS}
 
-GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is Free and Open Source Software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exist. It is the largest Open Source GIS. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.
+GRASS GIS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is Free and Open Source Software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of \textbf{more than 400 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster, voxel and temporal data (4D)}. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, map web services and even other GIS software exist. It is the oldest and largest Free and Open Source GIS. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.
 
 \section{Where is GRASS used}
 
-GRASS is used in scientific applications, commercial settings and by public authorities all over the world. GRASS has shown strong potential for solving geospatial problems in numerous situations world-wide.

 \section{History}
 
-GRASS was originally developed in the early 1980's by the US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USA-CERL) and was published as public domain software. When the USA-CERL withdrew from GRASS development, an international developer team assumed responsibility for the task. Since 1999, GRASS has been published as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.

Since 1999, GRASS GIS has been published as free software under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence. Several people during years contributed to improve the software, they helped to add new functionality, speedup existing modules, make \textbf{GRASS GIS easier, more useful and powerful to everybody}. \newline

-\section{Open Source Philosophy}
 
-The Open Source philosophy lets the user see the source code and structure of the program, which offers great transparency. Users can extend the program for their own needs. Immediate source code peer review increases the quality. With the help of the extension manager, new modules can be created without GRASS package source code.
