After our prediscussion on software tools for a discussion on future design
plans for PETSc I have started to set up GitLab issues in the PETSc project to
manage the discussion. They begin with
https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/643
<https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/643>
Each has
the label petsc-future
the milestone petsc-future
and the name of its issue starts with Petsc-future. If you add new
issues please use the same template for the introduction and add the label and
milestones
My filter for email is: if from is git...@mg.gitlab.com
<mailto:git...@mg.gitlab.com> and subject contains "petsc | Petsc-future"
The goal of the initial discussions is to get broad and creative ideas on
techniques to overcome current PETSc limitations. It is not bash or point out
flaws in other suggestions (that comes later). So no idea is too crazy.
Differential geometry?
Once we seem to have run out of fresh ideas on the issues we can move to
phase two which will be a more critical analysis of the possibilities.
I want to give the petsc-dev group the first stab at the issues and will
make broader announcements in the next few days. I will also be updating the
"rules" in https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/643
<https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/issues/643> occasionally so keep an eye on
them.
Thanks for the idea of using issues and how to use them for the discussion,
seems like a good choice.
