[Rivet] Rivet plans and next monthly meeting -- Mon 3 Sep?

[Jonathan Butterworth]

Thanks Andy, looks good.

A couple of (hopefully little) things that I think need fixing, but 
maybe can be discussed in the developer meeting tomorrow if necessary?

1. The file doc/analyses.json causes clashes when updating from the 
repo. I think this is a generated file isn't it, so why is it in the repo?

2. I'm getting an error from "make" building the documentation for the 
tip. Shows up differently on sl6 and osx...

On linux:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./mk-analysis-html", line 89, in <module>
     page += "<b>Experiment:</b> %s (%s)<br/>\n" % (ana.experiment(), 
ana.collider())
   File "core.pyx", line 122, in rivet.core.Analysis.collider
MemoryError
Makefile:596: recipe for target 'analyses.html' failed
make[1]: *** [analyses.html] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
'/unix/cedar/software/sl6/Installations/rivet-src-jmb/Rivet-hg/doc'
Makefile:555: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

On OSX:

     ./mk-analysis-html
Using output file name 'analyses.html' and directory 'analyses'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./mk-analysis-html", line 92, in <module>
     print ana.inspireId()
   File "rivet/core.pyx", line 131, in rivet.core.Analysis.inspireId 
(/Users/jonbutterworth/svn-managed/rivet/pyext/rivet/core.cpp:3507)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x84 in position 3: 
invalid start byte
make[1]: *** [analyses.html] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Does this make any sense to anyone? I tried checking some obvious things 
but I can't trace it to a specific analysis, so I think it is something 
in the core somewhere to to with the ref data changes?

Cheers,
Jon
