Dear all,
we have developed a GRASS module called Landscape Corridors (LSCorridors), published last month at Methods in Ecology and Evolution:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/2041-210X.12750/abstract
It aims at simulating multiple functional ecological corridors, based on species perception and landscape influence.
The code and details may be found here:
https://github.com/LEEClab/LS_CORRIDORS/wiki/
At first, it was an application called inside GRASS and using other GRASS modules, but which run with a GUI using wxPython. However, now I am adapting it so that it may be called as a GRASS GIS module, as r.ls.corridors.
It seems that it is running ok, but if I call it without parameters, the GRASS GIS window does not open normally. Also, we are testing it inside the lab, but more people testing it would be nice.
Then, I would like to ask for some support on how to standardize the package so that it may be useful for more people and maybe be available in future versions of GRASS or as an addon (or other possibilities to make it available).
I can post some specific questions, but I am not sure if this mail list is appropriate for that.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Bernardo Niebuhr

This sounds really interesting !

Try using --ui to launch the GUI. How do you call it (terminal, command console) ?

The best path is certainly to add your r.ls.corridors to the addons with a good manual page, including examples using the NC demo data set (if possible).
Inclusion into core GRASS GIS does not happen very often and is based on the assessement that a module is considered covering core functionality, and that it provides sufficient tests [1].

It definitely is. Please ask whatever you need.
