It would be good for us to include a regular discussion/update slot on that topic at least until the workshop targets are achieved.

Looking at my calendar, I suggest Monday 3 September, which is the first day of the MCnet Computing School but I'm sure there will be a suitable time. Can you let me know your restrictions on that day (and the following ones, if necessary)? Thanks.

As a reminder, Holger was going to provide his "old" Rivet/HD comparison scripts, and Christian & Louie were going to start building some notes (from the cmp script output?) on the known origins of discrepancies, e.g. where Rivet ref data was on-purpose submitted with different plot content. The triage process is most likely to involve focusing first on trivial cases where the dataset ID codes are different but semantically the same; then getting into the (much fewer?) more complex cases where the datasets actually have different meanings and maybe we need to port back improvements into HD with experiment approval.

We already have a group there, with a tentative project for the Rivet3 paper (ACTION: Jon!) and I hope this will not be too tough. We also need to find a new home for the mailing lists -- I had hoped that Jira and Confluence, from the same company, would equally offer free academic licenses, but they "only" give a 50% discount and the price explodes above 10 users. I will investigate whether we can use CERN's Jira, and/or other systems, but their mailing list system is sufficiently crap that I regard that as the option of last resort!
