[GRASS-dev] r.estimap.recreation add-on licensed by the European Commission

[Nikos Alexandris]

Dear Paulo,

thank you for your interest.   The documentation (still) deserves some
love and I will update it as soon as I can.

I tried to design the module after the algorithm but still give it
a lot of flexibility. Such that one can, exactly, use
other sources of input maps (i.e. a land use map other than the
"default" CORINE).

I am working to ensure the add-on will work under Windows (it does for
me and expectedly it will work in general) as well as to enable easy
access to it via QGIS.

I wish you and all Love and Beautiful Moments in 2019.

Nikos
