List of Problems that Need Discussion

MeshData or EquationSystems can both be used (only one tested) but which strategy provides the best approach.
- MeshData
  Pros:
  - More Natural since we are simplifying defining data at grid locations
  - Simpler less heavyweight implementation
  Cons:
  - No interpolation
  - Few people use it so it may be buggy.
  - Only seems to work with UNV mesh format (not with xta for sure)
- Equation Systems
  Pros:
  - Works with a variety of mesh types
  - Provides a natural means of interpolation
  - Used more frequently by libMesh developers so perhaps less buggy.
CellML implementation completed by Jagir
- What is the status and can we get going soon on this?
Overall problem setup (reading in problem description)
- Are we going to use a perl framework? python? just C++?
- How will we use first bullet with this work? Translating all of old examples to new libMesh examples?
- How will users run examples? Can we start thinking about this? It may help direct development of OpenCMISS.
Monodomain/Bidomain Class
- Does it even make sense to create a new bidomain class or is it more natural to just use EquationSystems?
Parallel Mesh Class
- While libmesh did not distribute the mesh (it was copied to each node) when we were evaluating it, this is currently being actively worked on by libmesh developers.
