Dear all,
as a change from my flood of bug reports I thought I'd share this
information with you: At the institute where I am working we regularly
receive applications for internships from German (-speaking) students.
Right now it's especially noticeable because the semester break in
February/March is approaching. And what's interesting is that in their
CVs quite many (maybe half?) of the applicants mention that they are
familiar with gretl. That must be because it was taught at their home
university. (And no, they are not applying directly to me, so it's not
because they want to pamper me -- actually I don't think that the
average student looks at the info box and remembers the name of the
translator there.)
So I think gretl is definitely on the rise in the German-speaking region.
have a good weekend,
sven

This is very good!

That's sounds good! But
actually I am quite surprised. Personally I do
not know so many students in Germany who use it.
Here in Leeds I am just on a "mission" to advertise gretl. My student
mates like it more than microfit or stata ;)

Thanks, Sven, this is encouraging. I've been talking to some
Germans at the conference I'm at (in Dijon) and they seeme to know
something about gretl (have colleagues who use it, if not using it
themselves).

sorry to spoil the mood, but those are probably former and/or current
colleagues of mine, so that's not surprising. :-)
Our institute in general is still Eviews-land (to some extent for good
reasons).
thanks,
