Yup. It would be good to have one page with relatively minimal content. Just
links to where things are. I like the look and feel of the
GRASS 6.1.0 Released - OSGeo page.
By the way, one of the features of grass that has really grown on me in the
past 6 months (coming from a Windows/Arcgis environment) is the relative
ease of writing scripts to do things. This may be old hat to linux experts
but is not something that Windows types are used to doing. Anybody remember
the last time they wrote a .bat file? This is not mentioned anywhere on the
Info sheet. Just a thought.

If we can get everyone switched over from Bash to Python, Windows folks can script too.

Well, Windows folks can script now, using .bat files (or shell if they use msys), but I agree that we should rather recommend everyone moving over to Python now for any new scripts.
