Note

- petsc-announce is an announcement-only list (users cannot post).

- petsc-users and petsc-dev are open; we recommend subscribing and participating in the list discussions. However, it is possible to post to the lists without subscribing (the first post to the list will be held until list owner can enable access)

- Avoid cross posting to multiple lists. You can reach PETSc developers equally on any suitable list.
