4) CellML API - update

  • Andrew: made some small documentation changes.

Discussion:

  • Alan: is there a tracker item to report documentation issues? There are some changes and additions to the docs that would be good.
  • There was an extensive discussion about how to report and deal with documentation changes:
      • Report issues directly to the tracker.
      • Move to github or Google Code, and use comments.
      • Set up a simplified tracker item form.
      • Set up a form, linked from doxygen pages, to email a team member. They then make the tracker item.
      • Possibly use a wiki instead of or as well as doxygen.

5) CellML core specs - update

Discussion:

  • Andrew: waiting for feedback from Poul about the uncertainty paper. Also waiting for feedback from the community on the draft spec.
