Hi all,
a lot has happened in the past months in GRASS 7 with tons of
improvements: To better showcase the improvements, please
help to update
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures
Also "xyz module www times faster than GRASS 6" is a relevant
information. Certainly not every new flag should be documented
on that page but the major improvements need to be listed.
Please help (editing possible with OSGeo ID),
thanks
Markus

I have added links to the respective manual pages (in trac
much uglier than in Mediawiki but perhaps useful enough) and
made some cleanup.
Some catchy intro words would be cool!
Please edit the page, it's a wiki!

Nice work Markus!
I am not very good in catchy intro words, but I would mention the number of new modules (44+ vector, grass and image modules + general, GUI, etc modules) and some key improvements / enhancements of existing modules (like the very significant speed improvements in vector handling)?
I guess the links are made with some kind of alias? Would it be possible to not show the ‘G7:’ as part of all links?
One question about bash the scripts. it is mentioned that all bash scrips are converted to Python. Perhaps obvious, but these concerns the scripts that are part of the GRASS installation. One can still use external bash scripts (and hopefully that will remain the case). For example, most scripts available in the grass 6 add-on repository can be used in grass 7, albeit sometimes some adaptations are needed because of syntax changes)
Cheers,
Paulo

Thanks but it is joint work

Yes, definitely.

not show the 'G7:' as part of all links?
I would be more than pleased but trac has no clue about reasonable
links. We can simply take it out again, if too ugly.
Or move the page to Mediawiki.
Opinions?

are converted to Python.
Yes. Especially for portability reasons and speed.

Yes sure.

Sure - users are welcome to continue like that.

OK, those links may not be pretty, but that is a minor issue if compared to the convenience of having those links there. So I would certainly keep them.
What are the plans for the Wiki vs trac? I see some articles are marked to be moved to trac (like the GRASS 7 ideas collection). What is supposed to go where (Wiki or Trac), Wiki for end-user relevant information, Trac for information more relevant for developers?
I can see some advantages in such a system, but there are bound to be cases where information is relevant for both developers and users. One example is the NewFeatures page. Especially the part about changes in libraries is mostly interesting for developers. However, all the module changes and new modules are highly relevant for the users (I guess there must be a lot of GRASS 7 users by now).
All in all, it seems to make sense to me to move the GRASS 7 ideas collection to Trac, and move the 'http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures’ to the Wiki, or alternatively, give it an easy to find link on the front page of the Wiki (replace the link to GRASS 7 ideas collection in the Development box on the Wiki front page with a link to New Features perhaps).
Cheers
