I just updated the Process Management proposal in the wiki: http://svn.mpi-forum.org/trac/mpi-forum-web/wiki/Async-proc-mgmt This contains discussion of the non-blocking process management interfaces. It also moved the discussion of connect/accept extensions from the FT Mgr/worker proposal to this one for consolidation purposes. I put a note in the FT Mgr/Worker proposal indicating this transition, but did not remove any of the original text from it so we can have it as a reference. This should be regarded as a rough draft still as I made no actual attempt at writing precise standardize language, but opted for a more casual presentation so we can more freely discuss the high level merits of the proposal. Sorry for the delay on this. I was hoping to finish it earlier to allow more time for review before the teleconf. Cheers, Josh
