Hi ASPECTers,
Hope you’re all doing well. I’m writing this post to the administrators of this forum, experienced users and developers: can we have a post that shows us, to be a common user, what we need to know; to be an experienced user, what we need to understand; and to be a true ASPECT developer, what we need to learn, etc. You may call it the learning curve or something like a CPU ranking chart. I’m asking this because this can give people of different levels a sense of where they’re, where they should be heading, in a global sense. This would be particularly useful for freshmen like me to know where to start (sometimes people would find themselves not interested in the intro of ASPECT manual, too abstract :)). If you think this is worth doing, I’d like to be a part of it.
Cheers,
Mingming
Hi Mingming,
I think this is a very interesting idea and as you say, improved documentation would be great and benefits everyone. It sounds like you’ve already gone through parts of the manual, but just for reference there are sections for building up to running ASPECT in the manual, as well as how to extend and contribute to ASPECT.
That being said, this of course doesn’t mean that what is there in the manual is perfect. Especially since you say you are a freshman learning to use ASPECT, it would be great to hear from you how the current manual has/hasn’t worked for you. If you are able to make it, there is a biweekly ASPECT user meeting on zoom (see this post for the time) where we could discuss what this might look like, or you can post your thoughts here in the forum and we can continue the conversation here (or both!).
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Cheers,
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your note on the biweekly meeting. Looks like a nice place to discuss with exports :). Actually I was suggesting a road map or similar. Anyway that’s just my intuition.
Cheers,
Mingming
