just not to add new and new modules (which are quite specific like r.modis is) to trunk and discuss how to organize GRASS modules. The number of GRASS modules is quite high and it's quite confusing for non-power users (e.g. students in my courses at the university which are very ofter lost when searching for standard GIS functionality in GRASS). wxGUI search engine helps a bit, but it's not enough. I think it's not good approach to add new and new modules to trunk, this will just increase number of modules in standard distribution. The goal is to continue in discussion and develop experimental framework of toolboxes including packaging GRASS to give users more freedom which tools he/she wants to install and to use. So heavy changes in trunk are not planned at this moment, first we could implement experimental environment for installing, wxGUI integrating, removing selected toolboxes. Good candidate are r.streams.* modules from Addons which could build up 'hydrology' toolbox for our initial experiments. Take a look at [1] as I mentioned in the last mail.
