[Gretl-users] Putting Gretl on the TIBOE index
Dear all,
Evgeny Pogrebnyak (I think he's also following this mailing list)
suggested to request consideration of Gretl for the TIOBE-Index.
Some background: "The TIOBE Programming Community index is an indicator
of the popularity of programming languages. The index is updated once a
month."
URL: https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/
The criteria for becoming a member are:
"If a language meets the criteria of being listed (i.e. it is Turing
complete and has an own Wikipedia entry that indicates that it concerns
a programming language) and it is sufficiently popular (more than 5,000
hits for +"<language> programming" for Google), then please write an
e-mail to tpci(a)tiobe.com."
- We have a Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretl
- We have 77.800 search entries for "Gretl programming" on google
I think this could be another channel fostering Gretl's popularity. What
do you think?
Ah, just another question: In case we would like to request membership,
would be want to put "Gretl" or "Hansl" there? I would be in favour of
Gretl I have to admit even though Hansl is our scripting language.
Best,
Artur
