<span style>Dear Frank,</span><br style><br style><span style>Thank you for your email. We are happy to continue sharing our </span><span style>new algorithms and ideas with the ET community whenever possible. But we </span><span style>are only funded to work on applications outlined in our research grants, </span><span style>and we are obliged to devote all our time and resources to this effort.</span><br style>
<br style><span style>Given how strong and widespread the ET community has become, we absolutely cannot discount the possibility of joining ET in a more formal way in the future. However, we currently lack the manpower that would be required to complete our funded objectives and at the same time merge, maintain, and support the software we recently released publicly.</span><br style>
<br style><span style>We hope you understand our difficult situation.</span><br style><br style><span style>Sincerely,</span><br style><br style><span style>The Illinois relativity group</span><br style><font color="#222222" face="arial, sans-serif"><br>

<div class="im"><br>

<br>
</div>While I would welcome if _you_ would merge them because obviously you<br>
know best what actually went into these changes, I can understand that<br>
this means work, or in other words time. It is difficult for us,<br>
however, to judge whether it is worth that time, because it is difficult<br>
to know which changes actually went into the new branch when only<br>
looking at the tar-ball.<br>
<br>
In order to be able to judge about that we would need to know which<br>
version of Carpet was used for this branch, or ideally we could need the<br>
changes as 'patch' against a known version. Do you have this<br>
information?<br>
<br>
Would you be able to help with a possible merge, in case of questions<br>
and would you consider maintaining that new portion afterwards? Are you<br>
interested in 'officially' joining the Einstein Toolkit [1]?<br>
<br>
Thank you, Frank Loeffler<br>
