[GRASS5] Let's publish GRASS 5beta9 tomorrow (wednesday 6. Dec. 2000)

[Markus Neteler]

Let's publish GRASS 5beta9 tomorrow (wednesday 6. Dec. 2000)!

Are there any objections?

Justin will check in a fix for the graphical startup (hopefully
in the Thai morning time) so that I can cvs-tag the sources in afternoon
(German time). This leaves a full working day for our Asian colleagues.

We need these binaries:
 - Linux (I can do that and/or Bernhard builds RPMs
 - SGI/Irix: volunteer
 - Solaris/SUN: volunteer
 - Solaris/Intel (?, not sure): volunteers
 - Mac OS X: volunteers
 - ?

I would like to announce with a sort of press release to be published
on GIS-related forums. If you have time, you may throw together some text
and post it here. Then we merge it to a nice announcement.

Proposal for GRASS 5.0 stable: Let's schedule the release for the first days
of January 2001 (to allow work on 5.1). I hope that we get all left bugs
fixed until January 2001 (or decide to comment/drop selected modules). So we
could welcome the year 2001 with a stable release of GRASS 5!

The LZW-removal in raster/g3d lib should be part of GRASS 5.0 stable (so we
need testers for the next weeks).

Feel free to comment these proposals as usual,

Markus
