[Gretl-devel] Signalling

Folks, allow me to link a short and interesting read: http://seanjtaylor.com/post/39573264781/the-statistics-software-signal In short, this guy characterises software users of several math/stat packages. I just have a few observations, on which I'd like to hear as many opinions as possible: 1) We're not on the list. As I've been saying many times over the years, gretl being listed as one of the mainstream alternatives must be one of our priorites and we need to think hard on how to achieve greater and greater visibility. We've come a long way since 2009 (http://ideas.repec.org/h/ehu/ehucha/01-03.html), but in the average guy's percetption, we still are a minor player compared (say) to Stata. For example, one of the thigs we need most badly is, IMO, the Hansl manual. 2) If we were on the list, what kind of comments would you expect to see? ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti -------------------------------------------------------
