<div dir="ltr"># Meeting minutes<br><br><div>* Discussion happened in two areas plans for GSoC 2020 [1] and general direction and ideas for start of GRASS GIS through GUI with a special focus on the first-time user.</div><div><br></div><div>## GSoC 2020<br></div><div><br></div><div>* GSoC 2020 will be following the incremental additions strategy improving Location Wizard and Data Catalog (aka the Data tab or the Data tree), i.e., it is still roughly following the Prague Roamap [2] bringing immediate improvements to all users.<br></div><div><br></div><div>## Prague Roadmap concerns and additions<br></div><div><br></div><div>* In Startup screen, selecting (and double-clicking) a raster map in a Data tree should take user to the mapset which contains this raster and *show* this raster.</div><div>* Projection database should be customizable using the same environmental variable which is used by GDAL or PROJ (if there is any).</div><div>* Is double-clicking in the Data tree an obvious way of launching GRASS GIS in a mapset? (Or is it show data for this mapset?)<br></div><div><br></div><div>## First-time users<br></div><div><br></div><div>* First-time user should not have to deal with a concept of mapset (only addressed in the Location Wizard part of the roadmap).</div><div>* A demo location with some minimal data should be part of the installation and copied to some default palace for the first-time user.<br></div><div><br></div><div>## Left for the next time<br></div><div><br></div><div>* Terminology (e.g., should we embrace the word project?)</div><div>* More detailed analysis of skipping the startup screen, starting in a temporary or demo/world location, and just showing the Data tab instead of the Startup screen.</div><div>* Exact behavior of workspace files, last used files, and last active session.<br></div><div><br></div><div>We plan a next general video meeting like this one some time during the summer.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Vaclav<br></div><div><br></div>[1] <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2020/StartupWindow">https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/GSoC/2020/StartupWindow</a><br>[2] <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/wxGUIDevelopment/New_Startup#PragueRoadmap">https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/wxGUIDevelopment/New_Startup#PragueRoadmap</a></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, May 11, 2020 at 1:22 PM Vaclav Petras <<a href="mailto:wenzeslaus@gmail.com">wenzeslaus@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear all,</div><div><br></div><div>We will meet to discuss ideas for the new startup of GRASS GIS specifically using the GUI.
