<br>

The GRASS newsletter aims at covering the gap between scientific
publications and manuals on one hand and the mailing list on the other
hand. Articles shall not be as scientific/professional as in
scientific journals and reach beyond the usual question-answer
structure of a mailing list.  The review process is a benign one, just
to ensure the quality of contributions. Moreover by the way of the
newsletter new modules can be explained & presented briefly and hence
cited.

<p>
If you are considering writing an article please add the commands
used, so that the reader can reproduce it. Further more, your article
should be written in <a href="http://www.latex-project.org/">Latex</a>. 
For instructions which format/style shall be used, please have a look at this 
preliminary <a href="template.tex">template.tex</a>.

If you do not know Latex yet, don't be scared as it is quite easy.
You might want to have a look at the Latex Cheat Sheet 
<a href="http://www.stdout.org/~winston/latex/">(PDF)</a> 
to get to know a few commands, e.g. how to enumerate, make tables etc.

<h3>Newsletter topics:</h3>

<ul>
<li> getting off the ground with GRASS - articles targeting GRASS novices </li>
