Personally I like the new interface, but Maris' proposal for wizards to create new projects sounds helpful. Rather than a startup screen that stalls users, there could be temporary icons floating on the map canvas that prompt users to create a new project in different ways. Would disappear as soon as data is added to the map. A helpful guide/shortcut that users could choose to ignore. Still, any startup hints might be annoying like Clippy the infamous paperclip. I can find an example from other software if the idea is of interest. Or the logo that pops up when you start GRASS could have buttons for creating new projects; if a user doesn't click on them while GRASS is starting, then it will open in the default / previous project. Best, Brendan
