Perhaps I am the only person unaware of this, but there's a group called
"remotesensing.org", and a quite interesting article on a large image
manipulation library (in C++) called LIMP. Check out
<http://www.linuxjournal.com> and scroll down until you find the article.
While the work we do does not involve satellite imagery, we do make
extensive use of low-altitude aerial photography. The LIMP work and that of
the remotesensing.org folks seem to be applicable to GRASS.
Just in case I'm not the only one who was unaware of these efforts, I am
letting all of you know.

It could be that I am blind but I could not find the article on LIMP. What
was the title? What month is it from?
Thanks,

Folks,
The article is at:
http://207.178.22.52/lj-issues/issue66/3492.html
remotesensing.org can of course be found at www.remotesensing.org. It is
a home for OpenSource remote sensing projects. Current projects include
LIMP, libgeotiff, and work for AVHRR and similar satellite data processing.
It is my hope to establish development of a variety of translators at
remotesensing.org, promoting and supporting data standards efforts as well
as supporting implmentation of OpenGIS specifications.
Aspects of the work at remotesensing.org may be suitable to incorporate into
GRASS, and GRASS is also a potential source of algorithm code to be adapted
into efforts at remotesensing.org.
I personally would like to see development of a GUI raster/vector viewer
application at remotesensing.org that could be used with GRASS data as well
as many other data sources.
Best regards,
