Thanks for compiling this! Is there some goal you’d like to achieve in compiling this survey?
Also, is there a benchmark for how mature a package should be? I’ve got a nodal discontinuous Galerkin package based on codes from this book that I’ve developed this semester for a course, but it’s still very much in progress. However, I plan on actively developing and maintaining it for the foreseeable future. If that’s OK, I’d love to have it included.
Well, simply put it is to assess what is available. Other domains have organizations which aggregate packages into groups. That hasn’t happened yet in the area of PDE problems.
If your package works, include it in the list. One never knows which of the packages will actually be useful to someone else.
If topology optimization is of interest here, I have https://github.com/mohamed82008/TopOpt.jl. It is very much my PhD playground more than anything else and I release code in big batches usually after a paper has been submitted. It needs more documentation and dev time so if anyone is interested in collaborating, please let me know.
Of course you wouldn’t discover repos that are not tagged or registered.
In none of these searches would you discover @jlchan’s repo on DG methods for pdes or several other nice repos in @PetrKryslUCSD’s survey.
To be clear before CRAN Task Views R users have informally posted links to packages in their domains on their blogs etc. However, having something in an official place w/ volunteers who maintain it is more reliable.
There have been multiple requests for a Julia Task Views. I would be happy to volunteer to organize one on Data sources. @StefanKarpinski@viralbshah@jeff.bezanson would it be possible to create a Julia Task Views w/ volunteers? Possibly (Community) below organizations?
