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

[Helena Mitasova]

I agree with Glynn and Ben,
when working with students on 50+ different projects it is really great to have everything
in one package and not to worry about which additional tool to install and whether it will work with the latest release.
We used to have the code split into core, alpha and several other groups and it was pain to maintain,
I think it works much better now and the toolbox concept should be implemented at the GUI level.
Maybe PSC should have some mechanism to decide on which add-ons to move to trunk based on a defined set of criteria.
