AW: [GRASS5] GRASS 6 extension manager

[Marco Lechner]

hi list,

I'm not familiar with tcl/tk-programming. but isn't it possible to just have
one extensionsbutton wich can be used to hide or unhide a bar with
extensionbuttons?

I think in its own extensions menu. When it is common for people to have
12+ extensions installed we can think about merging into the main menu
structure.

Not sure if I like a permanent "Extensions" menu or if it is better to
create it the first time it is needed.


For GPL-compatible stuff it is always nice to merge new modules into
the GRASS CVS if they are well written & useful so that everyone can use
it (better tested); it won't die if the host website/author loses
interest; and it "automatically" gets updates and fixes. Even obscure
stuff can be interesting to try out and get into.

But I fully accept people will want to write stuff only for themselves,
use non-GPL modules (eg r.cva, v.in.dwg), or use the extension system as
a test bed for new moduules they write.
