Dear list
Only to sugest that stat.exchange is in fact a general forum (no
software specific), but https://stackoverflow.com/ it is software
specific. Perhaps pone the tag hansl/gretl there would be another option.

I think José has also answered Allin's other message here. And this
ambiguity is exactly the problem with matching gretl to the
stackexchange areas. (Both stackoverflow and stats [== CrossValidated]
belong to the stackexchange group, the naming is quite confusing.)
It seems to me --like Allin said-- that many of the questions from
gretl-users would not be adequate for CrossValidated. I'm not against
moving to the stackexchange areas, but we would have to follow the
"gretl" tag on two separate areas, not just one. This should be clear
when the decision is made.
I agree with other people that the visibility would be increased
relative to the status quo. I'm not so sure whether the impact on
stackexchange will be higher than a dedicated web forum on the gretl
project site (sourceforge).
cheers,
