[GRASS-dev] Metadata GRASS (GSOC)

[Newcomb, Doug]

I heard yesterday  that EPA is releasing a new version of their metadata
tool , doing away with the access database and writing everything to xml
files.  It's being written in C#, but they plan on putting the source code
on github. Not sure of the timeline.
