<div dir="ltr">I agree. grass-cli and grass-gui should be completely independent and at the same level. They are simply two different UIs that directly depend on grass-lib. The user wants either grass-cli & grass-lib or grass-gui & grass-lib.<div>
<br></div><div>Now, my opinion is if we put analysis and modeling code in grass-lib, grass-lib would be too big or, for some users, it would contain too much irrelevant code if all they want is simply GIS operations. Very field-specific code such as hydrology, remote sensing, ... should be separated out from the grass-lib and put in another layer of the libraries. grass-cli/gui will interact with that layer directly.</div>

</div>I think this would be a very good idea as it would make the whole GRASS<br>
ecosystem more transparent and easier (in my opinion) to maintain and to<br>
use certain aspects from different applications.<br>
<br>
Re functionality in the GUI:<br>
<br>
The question would be if the split is<br>
<br>
lib--cli--gui<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
|--cli<br>
lib|<br>
|--gui<br>
<br>
in other words, if the cli is just a non graphical UI or THE interface<br>
to the lib, through which the gui operates. I think the first design<br>
approach would be the better one.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
