Hi Matthias,

Our plan is to release a "GRASS 5 stable" very soon. You find a rough
schedule in the source code:
documents/code_freeze.txt

So the current focus will be on bug fixing. In you find a name
denoted there "(Being worked on by xxx)" you may contact him/her
to ask if assistance is wanted. If no name is there, feel free to
check and update this module. If you don't find anything for you in
the BUGS list, please check the TODO list.

If you know JAVA: In src.garden/grass.java/ you find a preliminary
JAVA interface which does not yet run with GRASS 5. Another 
playground...

Generally we currently focus on getting GRASS 5 stable instead
on adding new features. After code freeze and getting out GRASS5stable
a new development version (GRASS 5.1) will be started with several
modifications (see documents/code_freeze.txt and ONGOING)

This week I will update the BUGS list.

Kind regards

 Markus Neteler
