[GRASS-dev] Results of two surveys focused on GRASS GIS startup mechanism

Hello guys! :slight_smile:

as you recall, you could recently take part in two surveys that dealt with both the GRASS startup mechanism in general and how to improve the first-time user experience, which is, of course, closely related to the startup mechanism.

I am still working on the final version of Info Bars but the results of surveys are more or less analyzed and I would like to share them with you:

The implementation of the new InfoBar solution for first-time users is already in process. (After all, I’m submitting my master thesis on January 3, so I’d like to make it by Christmas. :slight_smile: )

So far, the first Info Bar has been implemented. You can see it here:

or in the master branch. :slight_smile:

A total of three are planned - at startup (already implemented), then to import data and then to guide the user to the Display and Modules tab so that he/she can see imported data and perform analyzes on it.

However, we are still not sure about texts in Info Bars… how to make them as short as possible and at the same time helpful and clear.

So we would be very happy for your feedback! :-).

Best,

Linda K.
