[GRASS-dev] Week 1 report: Creation of a new GRASS GIS startup mechanism

Hello Community,

I am sending my report for Week 1 (June 1-June 5). The report can also be found in the project wiki: https://trac.osgeo.org/…dow.

1) What did I complete this week?
I created a single PR related to the bigger topic related to changes in EPSG page ( ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/670). I made a change in layout definition. Now it is defined by boxSizer instead of gridBagSizer. Also, path to usr/share/proj/epsg was removed. Search and EPSG code text inputs were merged into one search input. An informative link to epsg.io was added. Removing the picture of the world: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/657 was already merged into master. Similarly, I am already done with the automatic detection of case-independent cases of grassdata directory: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/664 (issue: ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/644.)

2) What am I going to achieve next week?
Next week I am going to continue on PR regarding the EPSG page ( ​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/pull/670). The layout is done, now I am gonna focus on events. There are several requirements:

  • searching in a list on the fly
  • choose automatically the first row and permit “next” button
  • if epsg code is empty, nothing is selected and “next” button is not active
  • change informative URL according to a query string

Furthermore, I am gonna work on improvement when GRASS should create a grassdata directory in the default path for its platform automatically (​https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/682).

3) Is there any blocking issue?
No, it isn’t.

Regards,

Linda Kladivova
