> I am particularly interested in comments from > Andrew, Marc, Robbie and xypron. Most of the suggestions thus far seem eminently sensible. And continued development is essential to any software project -- otherwise the codebase will stagnate, quietly but surely. I'll pick out a couple of items that stood out and then indicate my potential contribution. * making GLPK thread safe is regularly requested and should be addressed * shifting to 'git' and a code hosting site (GitHub or Savanna, for example) for this development fork is essential -- which then begs the question, why not move the entire development effort to the same repository I don't have sufficient background in linear solvers or concurrent programming to contribute much. But I will create a wikibook page, keep a list of papers and similar, and try and summarize the discussion. I am also happy to be a non-technical 'git' maintainer (meaning I have no desire to approve code commits from others). It is important, and possibly vital, that this development effort succeed. best wishes, Robbie --- Robbie Morrison PhD student -- policy-oriented energy system simulation Technical University of Berlin (TU-Berlin), Germany University email (redirected) : [email protected] Webmail (preferred) : [email protected] [from Webmail client] _______________________________________________ Help-glpk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-glpk
