-gretl- 1.9.9, Kubuntu Linux 12.10
Does anybody know how to publish a review of -gretl- that can be viewed by other on the Muon Software Centre? I can't find a solution anywhere! On my machine, I see that there are 13 such reviews, the latest of which was posted on April 5 last year. I intend to publish a favourable, but constructive, review.
Some of you who have read these reviews may have noticed that one of them was posted by a certain Willem H. Buiter on May 22, 2011, complaining that -gretl- was 'not functional' and that he failed to get the program to run after reinstalling several times before giving up! (I must confess to have given up on -gretl- first time around because I couldn't successfully load any spreadsheets into it, but I worked it out second time around!) To be fair to him, he might have got it working by now.
Professor Buiter happens to be one of the world's most distinguished, and influential, economists, having served as a member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England (which sets UK interest rates) for three years in the late 1990s and is now chief economist at Citigroup (for more, see

Anyway, thanks in anticipation. :)
