More controversially, it would be good if the error message was
a. as descriptive as possible (Instead of just "Cannot read raster row [%d]" say "Cannot read raster row [%d]. End of file reached")
b. followed by suggestions on how to fix the problem (End of file fixed. The file has x rows and y columns but you were trying to read row x+1.)

Subject: [GRASS-dev] message standardization on wiki
To: grass-dev <grass-dev@grass.itc.it>, translations@grass.itc.itHi all,
updating Czech translation of GRASS I am suggesting some of standard
messages. There are lot of library functions which are very often used
(e.g. G_find_cell2() or G_find_vector2()), but messages are *very*
different, seehttp://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/Development_Specs#Messages_Discussion
Please feel free to extend the list of "standard messages", correct
existing (cannot -> could not?, ...), etc. then I will be happy to
change messages in GRASS code according this proposal.http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/Development_Specs#Standard_messages_sandbox
also
Not important, but really pain for GRASS translators...
Martin
