I have already updated the wiki page
http://grass.gdf-hannover.de/wiki/Development_Specs#Standard_messages_sandbox
Please feel free to add other suggestions... Thanks!

Does that mean I should do the editing or you already have? Jerry

>> Can I suggest the following rules
>> 1. First letter should be capitalized
>> 2. Use present tense (cannot instead of could not)
>> 3. No contractions (cannot instead of can't)
>> 4. Good sentence construction ("Cannot find input map <%s>" instead of "It could not be find input map <%s>")
>> 5. Be consistent with periods. Either end all phrases with a period or none.
