I forgot to post these slides to gridforge. These are the ones where we discussed the various simplification issues on our 8/2 call. I had previously emailed these to this list, but I updated them with notes about our selected resolutions of the issues.

I forgot to mention this. For those editing the core document.....


I want to specifically call people's attention to a part of the "Core" document called "Hints to Authors and Editors".


This is a list of ideas for how we can write consistently. Mostly simple stuff like "use present tense not future tense", etc.


You'll also want to read over some of the early parts of the document as they now call out things like error types so that we can be consistent about the way we identify error situations and classify them as to what type of error they are.


Also, if you are not listed in the Contributors at the end of the document (e.g., Tom S.) and you would like to be, then  please add yourself there.
