Many of you may be familiar with StackOverflow and similar sites that have appeared over the last three years. Now there is a beta site devoted to computational science questions.
http://scicomp.stackexchange.com Notable advantages relative to mailing lists are * automatic suggestions for related questions in which your problem may have already been addressed displayed *while you are typing your question* * better indexing by search engines * voting on questions and answers tends to reduce the time to find an authoritative answer * ability to edit questions and answers to stay relevant to later releases and to improve quality/comprehensiveness * automatic indexing of related and "linked" questions There are already some PETSc questions there and several of the developers are active on the site. I encourage you to consider asking questions of general interest there. If you ask a question involving PETSc, please use the "petsc" tag. Let us know what you think. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
