This looks good enough to me. Note that the <date> for Version 2.0 is July 18 (as cited in the 2.1 bullet). On Jan 18, 2008, at 10:38 AM, Rolf Rabenseifner wrote:

This is the currently proposed Versions History as shown on the back-page of the title page

---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.1: <date>, 2008. This document combines the previous documents MPI 1.3 (????, 2008) and MPI-2.0 (July 18, 1997). Certain parts of MPI 2.0, such as some sections of Chapter 4, Miscellany, and Chapter 7, Extended Collective Operations have been merged into the Chapters of MPI 1.3. Additional errata and clarifications collected by the MPI Forum are also included in this document.

Version 1.3: <date>, 2008. This document combines the previous documents MPI 1.1 (June 12, 1995) and the MPI 1.2 Chapter in MPI-2 (July 18, 1997). Additional errata collected by the MPI Forum referring to MPI 1.1 and MPI 1.2 are also included in this document.

Version 2.0: <date>, 1997. Beginning after the release of MPI 1.1, the MPI Forum began meeting to consider corrections and extensions. MPI-2 has been focused on process creation and management, one-sided communications, extended collective communications, external interfaces and parallel I/O. A miscellany chapter discusses items that don't fit elsewhere, in particular language interoperability.

Version 1.2: July 18, 1997. The MPI-2 Forum introduced MPI 1.2 ...

Version 1.1: June, 1995. Beginning in March, 1995, the Message ...

Version 1.0: June, 1994. The Message Passing Interface Forum ... ----------------------------------------------------------------------

It is based on the existing text from MPI 1.1 (For completness, I repeated the already voted text about MPI 1.3) The words "Version x.x: date, year" will be printed bold face (as shown in MPI 1.1 on the second frontmatter page).

Are there proposals for modifications?

Discussion should be done through the new mailing list mpi-21_at_cs.uiuc.edu.

I have sent out this mail with CC through the old general list mpi-21_at_[hidden]
