Parallelization investigation
- Discussion from Karl and Travis
Shane has also had a look at Global Arrays package, looks useful, but haven't actually tested it as such yet.

Karl has had a look at Zoltan. Provides dynamic distribution of data, and tools for communication for unstructured meshes. Again looks useful, but no practical experience yet.

LibMesh seems worth having a look at too.

We need to really have someone start work using something to make progress.
Data structures.
- Examples from Shane and Poul
Shane sat down with Poul to make an example - linear cube. Discussion was useful and raised many practical issues. Meeting again this Thursday.
Resourcing
- Job description
Shane tabled a job description for a developer. The group refined it and approved it for advertising.
Development framework.
- What testing framework are we going to use?
- How are we going to develop code?
