Issues

• Now the online documentation is in my (Zexi's) GitHub page, and this project is under Matyas' GitHub account. Maybe we should create a new account called 'ForecastingPlatformTeam' and upload all the stuff from that account.

• Naming of the models (1): We should probably find a uniform way to name models, and I would suggest the following naming convention: MODELCLASS_PAPER. The model class can be NK or BVAR, and the paper should be the first letters of the lastnames of all the authors plus the published year in two digits. Then the model names should be: NK_DNGS14, NK_SW07, NK_RW97, NK_BGG99 (not 100% sure), NK_DS04, NK_WW11, BVAR_GLP15, and BVAR_MinnesotaPrior (not 100% sure).

• Naming of the models (2): Models should be named consistently. 'NK_RW97' was named differently on the interface.

• Naming of the models (3): Shall we permantly keep the 'DSGE_TEST' model in the platform? If so we might probably need to give it another name.

• Naming of the models (4): Initially I added the NK_WW11 models to the platform, but later I realised that this model seems to be identical to the NK_RW97 model. Shall we name it as NK_WW11?
