Dear Bill, Tony, Rich, Adam, Dick, Jesper, George, David, Bronis, Rajeev, Jeff, and Alexander,
you are responsible for one ore more chapters of MPI-2.1 until the meeting.
It is a tough schedule: -----------------------
* Tues, April 1, my ROUND ONE is finished and the write token is logically passed to all chapter authors: - You have read access to the source (via SVN) and the pdf. - You have write access to your local SVN copy. - You will get write access to the SVN in a few days. * Fri., April 11, chapter authors have finished ROUND TWO. - This is a hard deadline (because I've to go on travel) * Sat., April 12, I will produce mpi-report.pdf as basis for review (I cannot do later, because April 14-17, I'm on travel) * Mon.-Thu., April 14-17, strong review by the reviewer group * Fri., April 18, reviews - if necessary must be included - by the chapter authors * Sat., April 19, I will produce final mpi-report.pdf which is basis for - final reviews through the reviewer group - official reading at the April 28-30, 2008 meeting. (I cannot do later because I'm on travel April 20-26)
The goals of your work as chapter author: -----------------------------------------
- Remove references to MPI-1 and MPI-2. - Substitute by MPI. - Necessary modifications to achieve this goal.
With this, we should have a single MPI-2.1 standard that does not "know" the MPI-1 or MPI-2 history of individual functions.
** This should be mainly a task in the area of chapter-introductions. ** Please, never change the wording of function definitions.
Exceptions: - There are routines that are deprecated and that are already referenced in a consistent way. My recommendation: Current wording: There are *new* function, and existing are now deprecated. Proposal: There are functions, and there exist also deprecated functions with (nearly) same functionality but deprecated due to some lack in the bindings (or functionality) - There is history information in the frontmatter. - there is a change-log annex with limited memory (only previous version)
Technical editing rule: -----------------------
You must identify all of your changes:
a) new/modified wording - you are highlighting your new/modified wording with:
\mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEbegin% MPI-2.1 round-two - begin of modification .... your modified / new wording .... \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% MPI-2.1 round-two - end of modification
b) Moved paragraphs, sentences, ... - you are highlighting the first word of the moved text with:
\mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEbegin% MPI-2.1 round-two - begin of text-move First-word \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% MPI-2.1 round-two - ongoing text-move ... rest of the moved text.... % MPI-2.1 round-two - end of text-move
Caution: These macros work only in black parts of the text.
In blue parts you must substitute \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendI% by \mpiiidotiMergeNEWforSINGLEendII%
The highlighting is done with red color. (There are only a few other sentences from me magenta. Therefore red should be the best to highlight the round-two modifications.)
