</div>sure on the other hand all GRASS modules included in trunk (or main<br>
branch) should be solid, well tested and actively *maintained*. Note<br>
that the GRASS development team is relatively small.<br>

</div>We definitely need to define some criteria. Probably we should also<br>
review which addons modules should go to trunk (well written,<br>
maintained), and which should go from trunk to addons (not maintained,<br>
rarely used, seriously broken).<br>
<br>

modules which should go to trunk.<br>
