Thanks for those who wrote about themselves, can others do the same as
well? 

Nice to hear things that I wasn't aware of, and I perhaps need some
clarifications.

Vincent: "I don't feel good with interaction parameters that are stored
(embeded) in bodies": I am not sure what you mean here.

Bruno: "The time gain with "parallel" option is still very low". What
speedups you get? For TriaxialTest(fast=True,numberOfGrains=10000), I
have 48 vs. 28 iter/sec by setting OMP_NUM_THREADS to 4 and 1
respectively. If you have some ideas for improvements, they will be very
welcome.

Anton: "Good to have YADE deb-package in repositories.". The
infrastructure is there, https://launchpad.net/~yade-users/+archive/ppa
has (one) package, but given the speed how yade evolves and until
recently, you couldn't practically use it without writing c++ code, it
didn't make much sense to distribute binaries.

(I will paste these discussions to the wiki page WhoIsDoingWhat so that
it doesn't get lost. If you want, open bugreport/create blueprint for
those features you need. That's perhaps the best way to keep track.)
