Hi,
It seems a great shame now that someone has finally volunteered to move forward on this to stop the work... having the call so that everyone can understand what the issues are (i.e. those that weren't at the original CERN meeting) would seem to be worthwhile use of the call.
some non-technical comments: Like I wrote in my earlier comment, I'm not sure this Wednesday initiative is a move *forward* - rather, sideways, but it is difficult for me to judge from the very brief minutes. Let me explain: I was at the famous CERN meeting, and went home quite elated, as I finally saw a group speaking in practical terms and tackling real-life problems, instead of venturing into yet another academic decomposition into spherically symmetric horses. The documents produced back then were pretty raw and in places unintelligible, but promising. I saw PGI as the proper framework to make these documents developing into practical implementations. And I am saddened to see it getting bloated, bogged in formalities and tormented by various split attempts. It is very unfortunate that the last Friday call was first announced as canceled and then went ahead - this prevented many relevant people from taking part in it. I thus would not regard results of last Friday meeting as anything that has wide implications without further clarifications. And on a slightly more technical part, I received no comments on the Use case; shall I upload it to Wiki, and if yes - where? Cheers, Oxana
