@MajorHeading(PSL projects for SUMMER 1982)
@Heading(M. L. Griss)
@begin(center)
Last Update: @value(Date)
@end(center)
This document gives a list of the projects to be done regarding PSL
during this summer. Those individual associated with each aspect of the
project are listed with their activities. Missing are a list of priorities
associated with each of these project, or in some cases a PERT (or
whatever) chart would be appropriate as there is some precidence ordering.
As the Package system probably should have a high priority than the
BIGFLOAT stuff (as we will soon have major problems with names due to users
wanting to add their own packages of routines and compatability packages
etc. which will cause many name conflicts).
The section at the end of the document is to be used to keep track
of who knows what is going on about a given topic and who is working on it.
There us a section for each of the people connected with PSL and what they
are @dq[going to be doing]!
