PyLith help outside of workshops

  1. In addition to the cig-short email list, what other web-based information should we create? Should we create a PyLith "wiki" on the CIG website? How should it be organized? What topics should be covered?
  2. Do you think regular web-based tutorials/help sessions would be helpful? If so, what form should they take and how often should they be held? For example, would a regularly scheduled two hour block of "office hours" every 2-4 weeks be helpful?

Workshop

Your input to these questions will help the organizing committee design next year's workshop.

Workshop Format

Workshop Date/Location

A dorm with air conditioning will likely not be available at Colorado School of Mines next year. Which of the following options would you find acceptable:

Dorm without A/C is okay
Partial reimbursement for a hotel room
More but partial reimbursement in shared hotel rooms
Move workshop to UC San Diego if similar cost
Move workshop to UC San Diego, less reimbursement okay
