Fwd: Springer Encyclopedia of GIS, GRASS entry

[Tyler Mitchell]

Forwarding this note about an upcoming publication that could use  
free/open source input.  See below.  Andreas is talking about GRASS  
but we could be talking about any of our other great projects.  It is  
not for 'selling' the projects, rather for objective information  
about features, history, capabilities.

There is more discussion on the GRASS-user list as they figure out  
who can contribute re: GRASS.

Anyone able to contribute?

> If you are interested in writing such an entry (3000-4000 words,
