I relooked at the discussion. I don't have particularly strong
feelings one way or the other. But if you need a decision, I'd favor
either *.gws (GRASS workspace) or *.gwsf (GRASS workspace file)
I did a search on a couple of file extension sites. *.gwsf did not
exist and *.gws was found on only one site. It was listed as a
GeoMedia (Intergraph) geoworkspace file format.
So I guess we'd be wise to steer clear of *.gws. But *.gwsf seems fine.
Anyone have any objection to *.gwsf?
