Hi Dear Developers,
we're planning to start (almost) permanent comprehensive quality control
for function packages uploaded to server. The very minimum standard all
packages should meet is:
1. Possibility to run...
2. Comprehensive help with good explanation of functionality implemented
in package. The very nice thing would be a link to an article/book/etc
with examples and so on.
3. Sample script based on dataset bundled with gretl installation. If it
is not possible it would be very nice to put a link to Internet source
for relevant data or piece of code for generation an artificial data.
4. Benchmark results.
5. Email(s) to author(s).
What will we do at checks (in general):
1. If certain package runs on current gretl version.
2. If package has help and script.
3. If it is possible to replicate script submitted with package and get
benchmark results.
4. If we know email(s) to author(s).
We plan to start our work at August.
Best Regards,
Polish Team
