I notice that this topic has been mentioned in the notes on the Einstein Toolkit mailing list, but has not been announced (in an email of its own), nor has it been mentioned on the Cactus mailing lists at all. I understand that most of the active development these days is happening on the context of the Einstein Toolkit, and that maintaining the cactuscode.org domain web server seems like a burden, but Cactus is usable by itself, and publicly stating that Cactus is subsumed by the Einstein Toolkit greatly reduces the impact of the Toolkit on the computational science side. This probably won't affect physics funding, but this will make it more difficult to obtain funding from non-astrophysics sources. For example, CISE might ask why they should fund an astrophysics-only project where the maintainers decided deliberately to restrict the target audience of their software. I'm sure it's not only Zach who has links to the web site <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cactus_Framework>. -erik -- Erik Schnetter <[email protected]> http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/eschnetter/ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.einsteintoolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/users
