Paul,
thanks for the feedback.
If I understand this correctly, I think it is a great idea. Just to be
sure I do understand, would you expect there might also be a "Time Series" view, which would probably overlap some with the
"Econometrics" view?
In principle, the presence of an "Econometrics" view does not preclude
the existence of a "TimeSeries" or "Finance" view (I already talked with
Dirk privately about the latter). Even if the overlap in packages would
be substantial, there could be value added via the information on the
corresponding HTML page. Currently, my personal opinion would be that we don't need a separate
"TimeSeries" view and that we should extend the information on the
Econometrics page instead. But it's not unlikely that I could be
convinced otherwise :-) So if you've got suggestions in that direction,
just let me know.

For my own purposes the "Econometrics" view is just fine, but I do sometimes get questions about dse from people in fields that are different enough that they might not even know to look in "Econometrics." A time series view might be useful even if it only said see also ... . Another approach to this might be to have sub-views so, for example, "Econometrics" and "Control theory" could both point to "Time series."
Other things that might be useful are various programming views, like a Matlab view, and an SPSS view.
I feel uncomfortable suggesting things that sound more like work than feedback, because I am not about to offer to maintain anything. I have too much on my plate right now. But in this regard it would be nice to draw on more people contributing smaller pieces. Have you considered something like a wiki?
Best, Paul
