QA: Have SMEC (and the likes) try the software for one of their projects 
and ask them to comment on:

  quality
  performance (size and speed)
  ease of installation
  documentation
  

  NAME:  How about naming the whole thing  GANU or ANUGA  ?
  
  
PROJECTS:  
  
One way of implementing parallelism would be through domain decomposition (DD).
Perhaps we can work with someone with experience in DD of PDEs and once that 
works, parallelise the code by having several sub-domains on each processor.


Uncertainty modelling and MC simluations.

Running a large simulation (Stress test): {Peter Row?) DONE (tsunamies)

Momentum sink study. Scale, extent, 
 map various copmpositions of structures to friction terms     
  
  
Stephen: Look at domain decomposition algorithms with a view of 
parallelising pyvolution


Stephen: Timestepping to be controlled by error estimator.



DESIGN PRINCIPLES (17/3/5) -  as agreed to by Duncan and Ole

Objects shared across project should not precompute 
structures upon initialisation unless they are used by all clients.
Rather precompute on demand or split using inheritance.
Pro: Good separation of concepts
Con: It may be harder to find the right file

Also, modules shared across project should not generally depend on other modules.



Idea (ON 28/4/5):
Allow set_quantity to take a .pts file as argument. That should use least_squares to populate the quantity.
Furthermore use caching.py to assert whether this should be computed or read from cache.


Use logger module as suggested by steve

Have the option of changing boundaries and forcing functions on the fly depnding on e.g. time or value of conserved quantities.


PROJECT IDEAS (NOV 2005)

GBR Effect on tsunami (Stephen may get student)
Convection (Grad proposal 2005/2006, Ole)
Momentum sink (Grad proposal 2005/2006, Duncan)
Convergence study (Ole)
VRML export (David Beard, Malcolm Nicoll)
Proper installer
Overcome 2GB NetCDF limit
IO (data_manager) needs some TLC
