For a better overview, here is a list of current PRs and future ideas, that might be suitable for the dealii-9.3 release. I have already successfully tested some of the open points locally and will submit them soon. What do you think? If it's OK for you, I could focus on some of those points next week so that they could be part of the 9.3 release.

I already created the 9.3 branch at https://github.com/dealii/candi/tree/dealii-9.3 and I will take over any of these changes as we merge them. Most important is probably #159

[koecher]

• the point of updating platform files is really to be done. I had some users for opensuse also, but forget to make to PRs directly, I think there should be something done.
• indention and cleanup should be done as well, for the future we should set up an automatic indent script to support

@tjhei is there any way to list @gfcas to the global list of contributors on the first page?

global list of contributors on the first page?

I think this happens automatically and might have some delay.

[tjhei]

actually, this is because it is based on the default branch (dealii-9.2). Should be fixed soon.

@koecher @tjhei I just opened some further PRs. In order to get a nice git history I would rebase open PRs as others are merged. Usually I get informed by github, and thus will rebase within some hours.
