Question about releasing around Oct. - Nov. time frame.
- LANL components likely are currently in the state they will be (on develop) by that time, and can be released whenever.
- Might try to coordinate an update of the land ice model.
Proposing to overload pool accessor routines to have functions as well, rather than requiring subroutines instead.
- Could simplify some code, when passing in a config to a subroutine rather than having to get it out before calling the subroutine.
- Might consider restricting the function interfaces for configs and dimensions to return values rather than pointers
- Might not be able to do this, fortran might not support functions differentiated based on return types
  - Should Check This Matt will check before net telecon
- Will put together a short design document
Will consider and continue to discuss Fortran 2008 support (specifically the contiguous attribute)
Will continue discussion on "flexible reference times"
