[Users] Release plans

[Frank Loeffler]

Hi,

A new Einstein toolkit release is being prepared right now. In order to
make this happen, the current code base is largely "frozen", with only
small changes allowed to be made (bug fixes, documentation updates and
the like). This will be followed by a complete freeze next Monday (Nov
10th), until the release a few days later.

One suggestion for a release name (thanks Peter) is:

 Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yvonne_Choquet-Bruhat

Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat (born 29 December 1923 in Lille) is a French
mathematician and physicist. She was the first woman to be elected to
the Académie des Sciences Française ("French Academy of Sciences") and
is a Grand Officier of the Légion d'honneur.

<snip> From 1951-1952 she worked at the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton where she proved the local existence and uniqueness of
solutions to the vacuum Einstein Equations. <snip> At the Universite
Pierre et Marie Curie she continued to make significant contributions to
mathematical physics, notably in general relativity, supergravity, and
the non-Abelian gauge theories of the standard model.

Please let us know if you disapprove, and/or if you want to nominate
someone else.

Frank
