I would add the following potential goals for the next year:

	- Improving timelevel handling and making Carpet more flexible wrt time prolongation orders etc (https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/620)

	- Dependency-based scheduling, to avoid errors and allow potential parallelisation

	- Output of simulation metadata in a standardised form (i.e. avoiding the need to parse parameter files) (https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1370)

	- Get tickets under control (https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1698)
		- We have a system for triaging tickets which seems to work (https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/Tickets), and have applied it to the most recent tickets.  We need to apply it to the rest, and work out how to make sure that this is done in future.

	- Make tests independent of number of processes, or run on the right number (https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1075, https://trac.einsteintoolkit.org/ticket/1230).
		- With some care, we now have all the required features to make Carpet 1D output be independent of the number of processes, and I started converting some of the tests a few weeks ago.  This needs to be extended to all tests, and probably instructions added to the documentation for how to write a test such that it can be run on any number of processes.
