Re: FEniCS'06 post-mortem

 

I agree with Johan; Garth was a top host! I had a great time, and I got
back to Sweden without having been run over!

Some things that came up, which we should pursue in one way or another:

* Dolfin: surface integration (boundary + internal for discontinuous
Galerkin etc.)
* Dolfin mesh: hierarchical vs single mesh mode (geometric vs algebraic
multigrid): support both.
* Dolfin mesh: refinement/coarsening: reimplementation of broken
Bey-algorihtm, test of "Matt-algorithm", test of simple split/collapse
algorithms + smoothing/flipping.
* DOLFIN: Full adaptive Navier-Stokes solver to be implemented (today
primal solver + broken mesh refinement in place)
* DOLFIN: Compressible flow module
* Dolfin: ALE + free surface modules
* Dolfin/FFC: automatic generation of error estimate/mesh indicators
* Dolfin build system: Scons or Cmake...
* Dolfin/FFC bc: assembly of strong bc directly in FFC (together with weak
implementation)
* dolfin-dev + dolfin-stable
* Dolfin license: there seems to be an agreement on GPL -> LGPL
