[R-pkgs] New Package: openSTARS

[Mira Kattwinkel]

Dear userRs

I am pleased to announce the release of the new package *openSTARS* on 
CRAN (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/openSTARS/index.html).

openSTARS prepares GIS data for stream network analysis using open 
source GRASS GIS within R. It is intended as an alternative to the 
ArcGIS toolbox STARS to format the input data for the SSN package for 
Spatial Statistical Modeling on Stream Networks 
(https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/SSN/index.html).

For more information see 
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/MiKatt/openSTARS/master/release_files/release_announcement.html 
.

Any comments and suggestions are very welcome.

All the best,

Mira
