GRASS user categories?

[Pete St. Onge]

Hello all,

If you are thinking of going down this road, effectively developing a
"GRASS Knowledge Base," might I respectfully suggest that you consider
using a system similar to what the Linux Knowledge Base people are
working on? 

They are developing a centralized knowledge base for Linux information,
not so much for specific applications, but more for the operating system
itself. Their approach would lend itself well to maintaining the growing
body of information developing around GRASS.

Their information management system will be GPL soon, and they are
already dealing with many of the issues that you will no doubt have to
deal with. The benefit to you is that you won't have to spend the time
building the thing, just populate it with your own specific information
and maintain it.

http://www.linuxkb.org/ is the main site, if memory serves.

Hope this helps,
