[Dune-devel] Future of dune-grid-howto?

[Oliver Sander]

Hi Christoph,

sorry for the late reply.  I am quite aware that the dune-grid-howto
has been in an embarrassing state for quite a while.

It is bad, but it is still better than nothing at all.

Don't ask.

Because we are all lazy and don't enjoy writing.

Not until there is something better.

I started an overhaul long time ago in form of my book project.
Unfortunately that project never got much response from the community.

Sure, go ahead, but strictly speaking you should ask the authors.

I don't think so, because IMO you need somebody who knows Dune well
to write good documentation.

Best,
Oliver
