[GRASS-dev] New splash screen for GRASS GIS 7?

[Vincent Bain]

OK,

Stephan, I hear your advice. Yes, eventhough it may look a trivial or
childish task, achieving a mastered output actually takes time and
requires a minimum of care. So, trying to satisfy everyone's
taste/preference/fundamental point of view/or whatever/ will probably be
challenging...
When someone submits a piece of code, the coding style is not much
discussed, but the community is allowed to change it if definitely
unsatisfied.

We could try to go ahead with one proposal (say, one that satisfies at
least a bunch of most commited people), and adapt it at the next release
(or in 10 years ;-) ?

As Moritz mentions in his revision, there is a problem with a font
family (Fontin). I am looking for an substitute.

Yours,
Vincent
