[Webcom] New Project Description for GRASS

[Malte Halbey-Martin]

Hi Webcom,

I wrote a revised projection description of GRASS and a few nicer
screenshots (attached as a text. I think the website is managed with a
CMS, so didn't know what format you need, so I put as plain text and
attached the pix). Please put this one on the OSGeo project side.

Cheers

Description
GRASS (Geographic Resources Analysis Support System) is a Software for performing spatial analysis. It consists of more than 350 modules for processing vector (2D/3D), raster and voxel data. Many interfaces to other programs in related domains like geostatistics, databases, mapserver and even other GIS software exist. It can serve as a Desktop GIS and as the backbone of a complete GIS infrastructure.  

GRASS was originally developed in the beginning of the 1980s by the US Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratories (USA-CERL) and was published as a public domain software. When the USA-CERL withdrew from the GRASS development, an international developer team took over this work. Since 1999 GRASS has been published as a free software under the terms of the GNU General Public Licence.

GRASS is successfully used in scientific applications, commercial settings and by public officials all over the world.

2D/3D Vector engine with SQL based DBMS support

Image processing modules

Vector network analysis

Visualization of 2D, 3D maps and volumes

Interoperable with standard raster and vector formats

Works on GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, MS-Windows and other POSIX compliant platforms

Modular architecture and scripting capabilities for batch processing
