Dear All

Would it be good if the notation would be same for the same kind of
consepts.

For instance in commands

v.proj map=name [out=name] inloc=name [dbase=name] [set=name]

r.proj input=name location=name [output=name] [mapset=name][dbase=name]
[method=name] [res=value]

It is difficult to explain students, what the difference or similarity
for
inloc and location, input and map in these commands.

Best regards

thanks for the notification! I agree - and we have already started such
discussion for the next 5.1 release.

If you (all users) know of further comparing incosistencies, please let me
know. We will fix it immediately.

Kind regards

Markus
