Re: [FEniCS-dev] FEniCS'06 post-mortem

 

Let me add a few items:

 - "Parallelization" of the mesh

 - Finish UFC specification 1.0

 - Move FFC to UFC

 - New build system

 - BDM, RT elements in FFC

 - DG in FFC (jump terms etc)

 - Design and implement UFL

 - Move FFC to UFL and integrate UFL in DOLFIN/PyDOLFIN
