Initial MPI 2.1 list

[Rusty Lusk <lusk@mcs.anl.gov>]

Dear group,

Here is the list of people who responded to the advertisement on mpi-core that
they wanted to be part of the MPI-2 cleanup effort.  For the most part
everyone is either a familiar person to us (although perhaps representing a
new institution), or a new person from a familiar institution.
Welcome! or Welcome Back! to the MPI Forum Community.

Steve Huss-Lederman - Beloit College
Dick Treumann - IBM
Linda Stanberry - Livermore
Terry Dontje - Sun
Bill Gropp - Argonne
Richard Barrett - Los Alamos
Jim Cownie - Etnus
MaryDell Tholburn - Los Alamos 
Rolf Rabenseifner - University of Stuttgart
Jarek Nieplocha - Pacific Northwest Laboratory
Tony Skjellum - MPI Software Technology, Inc.
Yogi Dandass - Mississippi State University
Rajeev Thakur - Argonne
Mark Snir - IBM
Ricky Kendall - Ames Lab
Jeff Squyres - Notre Dame
Andrew Lumsdaine - Notre Dame
Tyce McLarty - Livermore
Brian Barrett - Notre Dame
Rolf Hempel - DLR (German Aerospace Research Center)

Brian McCandless - Notre Dame
Bill Nitzberg - Veridian
Albert Cheng - NCSA
Nick Nevin - Sun
Ron Brightwell - Sandia
Rusty Lusk - Argonne

I propose that we try to mimic our successful procedures by email.  One way to
do this would be for me to organize the topics on the MPI 2.1 Web page
(http://www.mpi-forum.org/mpi2_1) into "meeting topics" and then we have a
series of email "meetings", lasting, say, a week, in which we discuss things
and then vote.  It takes two votes to finalize something.  The topics could
correspond to the divisions in the page at
http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/~gropp/mpi/mpi-errata.  We would eventually cover
all the assorted errors, inconsistencies, and ambiguities that have been
brought up over the last few years on the discussion lists.  Those emails are
available for the most part from the web pabes.

If this is agreeable, I will try to post the first topic tomorrow, which should
probably the collection of obvious typos (might as well do the easy ones first.)

Comments welcome.  

Regards,
Rusty
