Questions on mailing list:
* nothing new

Open tickets:
* Zach reported
  https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2635 that
  contains a compile time warning about working only with Cartesian
  grid, suggests removal

* New ticket https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2634/
  mentioning lack of documentation on CCTK_BUILTIN_EXPECT

* Two tickets on SummationByParts assigned to Peter,
  https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2633 and
  https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2632

* Roland filed a ticket about non-conforming handling of initial data
  selection parameters
  https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2631 . Zach
  provided some recap that setting shift to 0 rather than using
  LORENE's shift gives better evolution, in particular much less
  eccentricity. Gabriele suggests adding a comment about this to the
  gallery example BNS parfile, instead of using LORENE's shift. 

* Zach and Gabriele suggest adding warning about this to code, also
  suggest adding similar runtime warning for other settings that we
  expect to produce failures or strange results

* Gabriele brought
  up https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2629 . Had a
  discussion on how to handle scheduling to compute a quantity every N
  steps. Roland to send email about what he recollects about doing this
  in EVOL vs ANALYSIS to the mailing list.
