GRASS Wish List

To Craig Anderson's wish list I would like to add:

  g.list - provided with options to organise the mapbase (eg by
grouping reclassifications under their `parent') and to query it (eg
to find out what reclassifications exist of a given `parent'). This
should preferably work through some screen layout more gentle than the
current sea of names.
  p.map - add options to specify placement, type, size, etc. of
legends other than `colortable y'. Also north arrow, coordinate ticks,
etc. Add similar options to specify comment.
  r.import/r.export - menu-like tool to control the growing number of
conversion tools contributed to grass.
  v.import/v.export - see above.
  v.support - the option `category support' should support only
categories that are actually present in the map, so as to avoid having
to face pages of useless cats because you happen to have a cat `1666'
in the map.
  r.colors/d.colors - should be clear about what gets changed
and why (in view of the recent mail about this) neither the display
nor the printer gets it right.
  g.remove/g.rename - should issue a warning before removing
or renaming `parents' of reclassified maps.
