I'd rather have something more on hansl instead. A link to the hansl primer wouldn't hurt, either. * I'd probably add a few examples of what you can find among contributed function packages. Actually, this could somehow be merged with the "Contributing to Gretl" section. And while we're on the topic, we really ought to have a forum. The wiki experiment more or less died a peaceful death, but nowadays I guess that people expect to be able to ask questions to "the community" through a forum rather than mailing lists. Of course, looking after a forum website is a hefty job (it's important to filter spamming etc), so I don't expect anybody to volunteer in the next 5 minuts, but let's just say it'd be nice if someone stepped up ;) ------------------------------------------------------- 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 -------------------------------------------------------
