Hi Wolfgang,

thank you for the suggestion and for the offer to help make the code more 
accessible.

At this point, the codebase is largely stable and research-complete. I do 
not anticipate major new feature development, though I may apply small 
fixes or updates if issues are identified. Given that, the code gallery 
option sounds like the best fit, especially if it helps keep the code 
building against newer deal.II releases over time.

I will take a closer look at the code-gallery repository and follow up if I 
have questions about the process or any adjustments needed on my side.

Best regards,
Maien
