OK, those links may not be pretty, but that is a minor issue if
compared to the convenience of having those links there. So I would
certainly keep them.
What are the plans for the Wiki vs trac? I see some articles are marked
to be moved to trac (like the GRASS 7 ideas collection). What is
supposed to go where (Wiki or Trac), Wiki for end-user relevant
information, Trac for information more relevant for developers?
I can see some advantages in such a system, but there are bound to be
cases where information is relevant for both developers and users. One
example is the NewFeatures page. Especially the part about changes in
libraries is mostly interesting for developers. However, all the module
changes and new modules are highly relevant for the users (I guess
there must be a lot of GRASS 7 users by now).
All in all, it seems to make sense to me to move the GRASS 7 ideas
collection to Trac, and move the
'http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures' to the Wiki, or
alternatively, give it an easy to find link on the front page of the
Wiki (replace the link to GRASS 7 ideas collection in the Development
box on the Wiki front page with a link to New Features perhaps).
Cheers

Nice work Markus!
Thanks but it is joint work :)
I am not very good in catchy intro words, but I would mention the number of
new modules (44+ vector, grass and image modules + general, GUI, etc
modules) and some key improvements / enhancements of existing modules (like
the very significant speed improvements in vector handling)?
Yes, definitely.
I guess the links are made with some kind of alias? Would it be possible to
not show the 'G7:' as part of all links?
I would be more than pleased but trac has no clue about reasonable
links. We can simply take it out again, if too ugly.
Or move the page to Mediawiki.
Opinions?
One question about bash the scripts. it is mentioned that all bash scrips
are converted to Python.
Yes. Especially for portability reasons and speed.
Perhaps obvious, but these concerns the scripts
that are part of the GRASS installation. One can still use external bash
scripts (and hopefully that will remain the case).
Yes sure.
For example, most scripts
available in the grass 6 add-on repository can be used in grass 7, albeit
sometimes some adaptations are needed because of syntax changes)
Sure - users are welcome to continue like that.
Markus
