[GRASS-dev] New GUI startup discussion

[Robert Lagacé]

This subject if interest to me.

I have read the different proposals which are interesting.

We have developped watershed analysis package of roughly 10 000 lines of 
code using Grass for not GIS field user. They found the package 
interesting by be starting curve is very difficult. We ask them to 
install Grass and some other libraries which is not very difficult. We 
ask them to put the package (Python scripts) somewhere. Starting Grass 
is intimedating to them.

It would nice to have the possibility to define a config file which 
contain the basic (projection and datum reference data for the user 
area) and we ask them to put it in some specific place in their 
dicrectory. When Grass start for the first time, it check for it and 
offer that possibility to the user. That config can point to some 
dataset. This concept can be use for the other options offered to the 
user. That proposal can be acheive by other means with the recipe given. 
The objective is to have way to define the basic for non GIS user.

Thanks
