I never used stackexchange (I do use stackoverflow :) ).
Looking at Area 51 (before becoming public and active), there are some
interesting areas but it shows some difficulties in passing the "public
beta" target. For example, Machine Learning was Closed, and Matlab is open
but with only 33 participants. [...]
You're right, it's not assured that we can get a "gretl community" accepted on stackexchange. However, I think it would be worth a try. If I don't hear strong objections I'll try putting in a submission on their "Area 51". (I'm not saying that I am uniquely qualified to make such a a submission, but it might help that I'm the founder of the project; I can give them some statistics on gretl-user postings, and -- with some help from Sven and Jack! -- on sourceforge tracker entries and downloads.)
(the mailing list should exist for ever!)
That's what I think too. But the stackexchange format could be quite useful, if we can get in the door. Might give us some additional visibility.
