Terry, Rich and I talked about this a little bit in Chicago at the Forum meeting. It's not yet clear what is the Right direction to go here. We certainly don't want to go another 8 months before releasing 1.5.1. On Oct 11, 2010, at 9:32 AM, Graham, Richard L. wrote: > Why go to all this effo

Why go to all this effort, and not just fork 1.7 from the trunk, skipping the whole merge process ? Seems like it would be much more prudent to spend time on improving the code base, adding missing MPI support, etc., rather than spending the time on a merge. Rich On 10/8/10 6:34 PM, "Jeff
