Debated bug fix for synchronizing scalars.

One person is not enough to do the release

The schedule was a bit weird and didn't quite work out. Roland will make 
notes to improve it.

Discussed https://docs.einsteintoolkit.org/et-docs/CarpetX_Transition
What thorns need to be ported over?

Ticket Roland wants in: incorrect WENO coefficients.
Terrance has been traveling. Zach and Leo will remind him.

Zach wants to break components of GRHydro into pieces,
e.g. Con2Prim, allowing them to mix and match. Zach is
trying to make an infrastructure agnostic version, usable
in other codes. Wants to show it off next week and get
comments.

Ticket 963 improve McLaughlin accuracy, cannot compile because
of hwloc and cactus fails with an assertion error.

Ticket 2364 avoid opening and closing hdf5 files during output. Next 
release.
