Hi Luca,
Some feedback from me:
- remove "a" from the first sentence: GRASS GIS is free and open
source software for performing spatial analysis.
- add an "s" to "consist" in the second sentence: It consists of more
than 450 modules
- in the third sentence, the term "map web services" confuses me, did
you mean "web map services" instead??
- in the next sentence, change "but still at the bleeding edge" to "but
is still at the bleeding edge"
- in the section "A long term endeavor":
- change "wide contributors community. Both combine" to "wide
contributors community; both combine"
- in the section "Interfaces":
- change "the simpler for new user" to "the simplest for the new user"
- change "text based" to "text-based"
-jeff

Hi Luca,
great effort! Let me also comment on couple small things:
* The bottom 'GRASS GIS' seems unnecessary, I would keep only the
logo, which I would align to the left and the url to the right
* In interfaces, I would skip "called wxGUI", I am not sure whether we
need to mention it's in wxPython, new users probably won't know about
the old GUI?
* Now you have there twice that GRASS is old, maybe I would replace
the sentence "It is the oldest..." with something like "GRASS GIS can
serve you as a desktop GIS, the backbone of a geospatial
infrastructure or as an innovation platform for scientific modeling."
Thank you for working on this

Great !
Again a few remarks after a rapid glance:
- If we say in the opening paragraph that it is the "oldest" free GIS, then
we should probably add in the same sentence something like "but still at the
bleeding edge of innovation in GIS technology".
- I don't find that the paragraph on the top right really explains "Data
management capabilities" since most of what is in it concerns data analysis.
Maybe entitle it "Features" ?
- psmap is not the tool that "interactively compares two maps"
And just an idea: maybe replace the paragraph entitles "Graphical tools"
(the list of which I find a bit abstract for new users) by one called
"Multiple forms of use" [better title needed] explaining that you can use
GRASS via a GUI (maybe cite some of the GUI modules in parantheses there),
via command line (e.g. on headless servers) and via easy integration into
different programming languages.
done!
Moritz
