<h4>Development, testing and documentation</h4>

The project can include contributing to GRASS GIS or other open source GIS
through improved documentation, testing, development of a tutorial or a new tool.
See the <a href="https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Student_Grants#Topics">topics</a>
suggested by the GRASS GIS community and examples of past projects:
<ul>
<li><b>Open source GIS scripting and development</b>
<ul>
<li>development or co-development of a new GRASS GIS module
(see, for example a
<a href="resources/LloydJ_Project_MEA582f11.pdf">report on testing and enhancing v.transect addon</a>), suggestions:
<ul>
<li><em class="module">v.kernel</em>
wrapper with detection hotspots which are 10% of areas/values, e.g. using histogram,
and with other convenient features
<li><em>r3.patch</em> (similar to
<em class="module">r.patch</em>)
can be implemented using Python and
<em class="module">r.mapcalc</em>
or, by an advanced programmer, in C
<li>find an interesting scientific article
and implement GRASS GIS module based on that article (see e.g.
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/addons/r.local.relief.html">r.local.relief</a> and its references)
<li>read <a href="https://github.com/wenzeslaus/python-grass-addon">How to write a Python GRASS GIS 7 addon</a>
<li>update
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/addons/r.wind.sun.py.html">r.wind.sun</a>
addon (calculates visual impact of aerogenerators and photovoltaic panels;
see also the <a href="https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/browser/grass-addons/grass6/raster/r.wind.sun/r.wind.sun.py?rev=67404">source code</a>)
for GRASS GIS 7 and split it into two if needed
</ul>
<li>
using open source software (e.g. GRASS GIS or QGIS)
re-implement an existing script, tool or toolbox which is
currently tied to proprietary software
<ul>
<li>
series of scripts for Geomorphometry &amp; Gradient
Metrics toolbox (Evans et al. 2014), available at:
<a href="https://evansmurphy.wixsite.com/evansspatial/arcgis-gradient-metrics-toolbox">https://evansmurphy.wix.com/evansspatial</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>improvements in existing GRASS GIS functionality
<ul>
<li>unify color tables for slope, aspect and curvatures
used in <em class="module">r.slope.aspect</em>,
<em class="module">v.surf.rst</em>, <em class="module">r.param.scale</em>
and other related modules
</ul>
<li>development of a web or mobile application, for example with GRASS GIS as a backend
<li>possible continuation in
<a href="https://https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code">Google Summer of Code</a>
<li>Feel free to explore other open source GIS, for example <a href="https://www.qgis.org">QGIS</a>
</ul>
<li><b>Class development</b>
<ul>
<li>create equivalent of one or more assignments for this class in
<a href="https://qgis.org/">QGIS</a> using
<a href="https://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/processing/">QGIS Processing</a>
with SAGA or GRASS GIS algorithms
<li>rewrite the assignments for this class using
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/libpython/script_intro.html">GRASS GIS Python API</a>,
<a href="https://docs.qgis.org/2.8/en/docs/user_manual/processing/scripts.html">QGIS Processing Python API</a>
or <a href="https://www.r-project.org/">R</a>
with <a href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rgrass7/rgrass7.pdf">rgrass7</a> package
</ul>
<li><b>Open source GIS testing</b>
<ul>
<li>testing a selected GRASS GIS module under development or a release candidate
or test different versions (Linux versus MS Windows, 64bit versus 32bit, ...)
<li>testing of an existing GRASS GIS module
(see, for example a
<a href="resources/WendelS_Project_GIS582601s15.pdf">report on creating a test suite for r.watershed</a>)
<li>testing of
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/addons/r.futures.html">r.futures</a>,
a module implementing urban growth model which is being
developed at NCSU
</ul>
<li><b>Enhancing open source GIS documentation</b>
<ul>
<li>tutorials for GRASS GIS and extended descriptions and examples for GRASS GIS modules
to be included in the official documentation
<ul>
<li>extend documentation for
<em class="module">v.kernel</em>,
add explanations of different kernels and constants
<li>add examples and descriptions to
<em class="module">r.topmodel</em>
documentation
<li>add examples and applications to
<em class="module">r.topidx</em>
documentation
<li>add examples and images to
<em class="module">r.sun</em>
and <em class="module">r.sunmask</em>
documentation and extend
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/addons/r.sun.hourly.html">r.sun.hourly</a>
and
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/addons/r.sun.daily.html">r.sun.daily</a>
documentation
<li>create a tutorial or an overview of
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/keywords.html#statistics">GRASS GIS statistical modules</a>
for raster
<!--
<li>update and rewrite the
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/uploads/grass/history_docs/mapcalc-algebra.pdf">original r.mapcalc tutorial</a>
to GRASS GIS 7 and HTML,
<a href="https://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/">Markdown</a>, or
<a href="https://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/rst/quickref.html">reStructredText</a>
-->
<li>browse
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/full_index.html">GRASS GIS manual</a>
and
<a href="https://grass.osgeo.org/grass83/manuals/addons/">GRASS GIS Addons manuals</a>
and find a module related to this class with insufficient
documentation according to your judgment and update it
