Now that Craig Anderson's marvellous wish list initiative has resulted
in regularly posted updates, I think it's time for action. Ideally, the
items in the list should get <name@domain> label(s) attached of people
working on it. I propose Craig to do the coordination, hopefully in
collaboration with CERL/OGI etc.
This does _not_ mean that non-programmers, or people who can't afford
the (spare) time, are not allowed to submit their thoughts.
And...
Here is another idea for the list:
Add options to r.report that generate output for (La)TeX & troff.
The output could then be directly read into a document without (much)
additional editing.
If this is found useful, I volunteer to give it a try
As far as these items are concerned:
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.
g.remove/g.rename - should issue a warning before removing
or renaming `parents' of reclassified maps.
This could be tricky, a child knows who its parent is. The parents have
no idea who their children are. Unless I'm overlooking something, this
needs modifications at the file-format/database/library level.
