larforum.org
There is a forum outside of Fermilab, hosted by the University of Manchester, to discuss LArTPC software. This forum, called www.larforum.org, has been in existence for several years. Andrzej Szelc administers the site with the help of several moderators. These moderators are experienced users of LArSoft and are part of the LArSoft Collaboration. Please consider adding your suggestions to the various topics such as:
- LArSoft 101 – for people new to LArSoft to ask questions
- Tips, Tricks and HowTos – code snippets, tricks, workarounds that may be useful to others
- Discussion of Algorithms – HitFinding, Clustering, Vertexing, Showering, Tracking
- LArIAT – specific to LArIATSoft
- The Valley of Despair – A place to signal the malfunctioning of modules, services or LArSoft in general.
