It looks like we can do it, but not from the web interface: http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7602227 One option would be to apply a good compression like lzma/xz to configure.log attachments. That brings a 5MB log file down to 160 kB. PETSc could compress configure.log up-front, but then you have to use xzless to look at it and not many people know to do that. >> > I don't know if there is an option for that.

Okay, I set up two topics: * installation * methods The former currently matches 'configure.log|make.log' and the latter matches the following which should be almost all generally "interesting" threads. method |converge |diverge |solver |solving |performance |usage |poisson |stokes |elasticity |compressible |flow |preconditioner |krylov |domain Let's see how well this classifies. If it is accurate, we can mention that people are welcome to unsubscribe from [installation], and possibly change the defaults.
