 == Abstract ==
+This project will focus on the creation of a more user-friendly GRASS GIS startup. The general idea is to make the initial user’s contact easier and with a less steep learning curve. While programming new GRASS startup GUI several tasks will be solved – changes in Location wizard structure, Data Catalog as well as general GUI.
+
+== Goal ==
+
+GRASS GIS comes with the concept of Location and Mapset which is not going to be replaced because of its advantages such as organized structure. The goal of this project is to make this concept more user-friendly (especially in terms of the welcome screen). The motion is that the Data Catalog will be expanded so that in addition to raster and vector data, it can manage even Locations and Mapsets. Then this widget could be used in the welcome screen. The work schedule below has been compiled on the basis of the Roadmap available here: https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/wxGUIDevelopment/New_Startup#PragueRoadmap.
+
+To sum up the schedule: From June 1st to June 28th (4 weeks), I plan to work on the Location wizard (the topic for the first evaluation), from June 29th to July 19th (3 weeks) I plan to program the new form of the Data Catalog (the topic for the second evaluation). From July 20th to August 23rd I will work on creating the new welcome page itself by integrating the improved components.
