[GRASS-dev] r.modis in GRASS 7 trunk

[Moskovitz, Bob@DOC]

Maybe g.extension (or some other module) could work like R's CRAN Task Views.  For those who don't know what CRAN Task Views are, take a look at http://decisionstats.com/2011/03/28/using-views-in-r-and-comparing-functions-across-multiple-packages/

Hi Martin,

I have no worries, since I do load modules directly. I am worried about the learning curve for Windows-bound students in need of MODIS images, but not comfortable with GRASS GIS yet.

But this is an old story coming back,

I am all for reducing significantly the number of modules in GRASS, to have a lean download.

We can indeed have groups of plugins to get through g.extension:

- Hydrologically related
- Imagery
- Temporal
- 3D
- DB (though I am not a user, so cannot be sure of how much needed)

This would keep import/export, some of the basic raster and vector ones. Neat small download, use g.extension for anything else, by group or on demand.

we cannot extend number of modules in trunk forever. Probably some
modules should be reviewed and moved to addons.

Do you have any problem with installing r.modis using g.extension?
