[Users] Einstein Toolkit Meeting Minutes

[Frank Loeffler]

Hi,

Present today were Eloisa, Erik, Frank, Josh, Matt, Yosef, and Zach.

Frank gave a short overview of what happened last week at the ET
workshop in Stockholm. The schedule of that can be found here:

https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/ET_Workshop_2015

This includes a lot of the slides of speakers, among other material.
One outcome was a list of things people are interested in being worked
on, and to a lesser extend also things they would work on. This list
can be found also on the wiki:

Another notable discussion was the collection of post-processing and
visualization tools people developed (besides the usual suspects like
gnuplot, plain matplotlib or VisIt). A list was generated on the wiki,
but is most likely not complete. If you also have something (even small)
that you could contribute, please add it:

Yet another interesting idea was to create an "Einstein Toolkit User
Guide" - a high-level introduction to the toolkit. The ET paper was seen
as first step in that direction, with parts of that maybe forming parts
of the guide. This guide should close the gap between the end of typical
ET tutorials and actual production simulations.

At the ET call today, Zach reminded us that he very much likes to get
his code into the toolkit, to the general agreement (or silence) of the
other participants. Roland would like to review the code again after
quite some changes have been made, and Frank would like to see if the
code compatibility layer could be written in a way not requiring
symbolic links between thorns, but at the same time avoiding code
duplication.
