[GRASSLIST:502] Re: Shipping data with GNU/Linux distributions

[Hal Mueller]

As it happens I've had some off-list conversations with Markus about 
this topic in the last week or two.  What I'm beginning to work on is 
to prepare some excerpts of the Digital Chart of the World (NIMA 
VMAP) in Grass format.  The aim is to provide a general-purpose 
global vector dataset that anyone can use immediately as a starter.

Let me ask the community in general:  what layers would you most like 
to see?  Country boundaries and continents would rank high, 
obviously.  But what else?  Roads?  Airports?  City locations? 
Railroads?  Rivers/streams/lakes?

Reply to the list, please, so we can keep the discussion going.
