Dear all,
I would like to know your opinion about opening a wiki for Gretl.
I heard that a test had been done but the wiki was closed shortly afterwards.
In my opinion, a wiki could be very useful, for example, to supplement what
cannot be in the documentation or manual, such as examples of scripts, or to
explore topics that may not be entirely clear at first glance and It would
also be useful for those who are new to the software.
Federico,
a gretl wiki used to exist. We shut it down after a while because nobody
could be bothered with the admin tasks and had become little more than a
receptacle that unknown people used for distributing clandestine material.
I've spoken to our IT guy, who manage to resurrect the old VM we used for
the purpose. If you agree to be in charge of the administration, I think
this would be a nice thing to have. (IIRC, Ekkehart had also expressed
interest.)
