[Users] Einstein Toolkit Meeting Minutes

[Zach Etienne]

Hi all,

I have to teach on Mondays from 9:30AM--10:20AM (Central US time), so this
semester, I will need to dial in a bit late to ET telecons (next Monday,
MLK Day, is an exception).

I would like to add two items to the 2015 wish list, having to do with
making it easier for IllinoisGRMHD to be used with the rest of the Toolkit:
1) Modify HydroBase so that staggered A-fields are supported. The best
strategy will require that we consider how initial data thorns might be
made compatible with staggered or unstaggered A-field, as well as
B-field-only evolutions.
2) Incorporate staggered prolongation/restriction operators into Carpet.


-Zach
