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

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Hi,
I'm with Helena, Glynn and Ben,
I think that having many module in one package is better for users that do
not have to take care of anything else.
If I have GRASS installed, I can find anything there (without need
of searching for additional modules that are not found in the manuals!).

And the criteria to add a module in the trunk should not be the frequency
of usage, but the quality of the code: I would like to see in the trunk any
module well written, without bug even if seldom used.
