[Rivet] Rivet dev sprint session

[Frank Siegert]

Hi Andy,

I was hoping we could have both somewhat unified:

- update the content of the existing arXiv ID to the CPC paper
- submit to CPC using that arXiv ID
- as soon as the next version comes out which needs an updated manual
update the arXiv again (maybe adding an arXiv comment about which
version corresponds to the CPC)

I'd think that the current content and the anticipated CPC content are
sufficiently similar to warrant this approach. Objections?

Cheers,
Frank
