That may help.
Just for clarification: we had a discussion on this at the last dev
meeting in Berlin. My observation is (and I assume not only mine) that
many people don't know that a battery of methods are available as
packages. So, for example, they look for advanced SVAR analysis, dodn't
find SVAR addon and that give up. So _maybe_ putting interface to main
menu will help a little.
The second idea is to work out a dedicated sub-page and we have some
mocup for this
(https://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/workspace/ci/master/tree/misc/pkg_catalogue/),
but it needs a little adjustments.
Cheers,
