are you maintaining a local git repository, or..?
(I'd encourage you to commit early, commit often)

   * How to solve problem of "local region" in previews. It must not
affect on global region and not to change it if module will stop before
finishing.

see the "variables" help page and scripts in GRASS for the GRASS_REGION and
WIND_OVERRIDE environment variables.

   * Where and how previews will be stored (mapset, temporary directory
in ~/home). To keep it multi-platform, it is important to handle paths
in windows and unix.

see the g.tempfile module, G_tempfile() C function, and grass.tempfile()
python function. -> $MAPSET/.tmp/

have fun,
Hamish

Hamish,

thanks for precious tips!
Do you think it’s better to have a git hub repository or to commit on addons ? I don’t want to mess addons repository with not working code…
