Re: Provide one MPI-1.2 standard document

I think that this is a great idea. I don't have time to check over the document at this moment, but I can in the near future. I also agree that having many eyes look at this document would be a Good Thing.

Other comments?

Hello dear all,
we would like to raise an issue that has been discussed sometime before:
would the community make use of one single MPI-1.2 standards document?

We have found this to be worthwhile for our students, but also, to give a
single position (page&Line) in the MPI-Standard, in case an error related to
MPI-1.2 is reported in Error-checking tools (and not "MPI1, but with
clarification in the MPI2-specification on page X").

Being at it, it would be nice to move to an official PDF-document with links
to the calls, sections and references (using latex2e and hyperref).

As a start, I would like to suggest the following document (changes are marked
with macros for \CHANGE, \INTO, \ADD and \DELETE, the latter text being \it}

Please, as *many* eyes as possible should check the correctness of the
how&where in the attached changes-file and the mpi-report.pdf and send
updates.
I would volunteer to document and include updates as suggested and do the
final cleanup.

With best regards,
Rainer


PS:
There are still some open issues with:
- Fig4.1, which does not have Boundary Boxes (and is not included in the PDF)
- The links (of the index) are off by 9 pages at the moment...
