About GRASS GIS

The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System
(https://grass.osgeo.org/), commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is an
Open Source Geographic Information System providing powerful raster,
vector and geospatial processing capabilities in a single integrated
software suite. GRASS GIS includes tools for spatial modeling,
visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of
geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery.
It also provides the capability to produce sophisticated presentation
graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS GIS has been translated into about
twenty languages and supports a huge array of data formats. It can be
used either as a stand-alone application or as backend for other
software packages such as QGIS and R geostatistics. It is distributed

personally I would suggest to publish news only about release, not RC.
Publishing on ML about RC should enough. Ma

Probably a good idea. May create confusion:

I see the issue of possible confusion, but news about RC's is good to attract testing. Don't have a strong opinion in either direction, though.

my personal opinion: most (maybe all) of people who are willing to
test RC are subscribed in grass-user/grass-dev ML. So announcement on
ML should be enough.

Just 2 my cents, Ma
