Markus Neteler

• Improve QGIS-GRASS GIS integration; update of provider to GRASS GIS 8
• GRASS GIS addons overview generator for entire GitHub (and more?) based on tag "grass-gis-addons"
• Discuss about a 4th edition of "Open Source GIS: A GRASS GIS Approach"
• Easy machine translation of messages in OSGeo-Weblate with DeepL API
  • my tests with DeepL show that the quality is very good; average translation time of a user message shrinks to 15 seconds √
  • note: one needs to login to Weblate to see the "Automatic suggestion" button (using the OSGeo-ID)
• GRASS GIS manual pages: re-styling and conversion of all pages:
  • convert to markdown
  • using mkdocs (https://www.mkdocs.org/): it provides menus and a search window
  • automatic formatting for mkdocs: https://github.com/KyleKing/mdformat-mkdocs
• Fix docs:
  • Provide better explanation for radius parameter for r.resamp.filter: https://github.com/OSGeo/grass/issues/2569
