a) get our work done in time for SuperComputing '96
b) don't have to do everything at once at the last meeting.
For those who weren't there, here is the schedule we came up with. It tries
to reflect roughly how close the various chapters are to convergence.
"R" means "Get the chapter ready for voting: try to narrow the focus, use
straw votes to choose among major branches, etc."
"1" means first formal vote on chapter.
"2" means second and final vote on chapter.
This approach seemed to work fairly well in MPI-1.
Here is the proposed schedule:
Chapter: Dyn One-S Coll Ext RealT Bind Misc

So please start feeling the heat. The discussions are great, but we
now have to begin reaching conclusions.

Rusty
