+<pre>
+We had a meeting of the Mercury group on Fri June 22, 2001,
+from 3.15pm to 5.30pm.
+
+Attendees:
+ Fergus Henderson (fjh)
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs)
+ Simon Taylor (stayl)
+ David Overton (dmo)
+ Mark Brown (dougl)
+ Peter Stuckey (pjs)
+
+Progress reports
+
+ We went around the table, with each person in turn discussing
+ what they had been working on recently and/or what they were
+ planning to work on.
+
+ Fergus Henderson (fjh):
+ - Talked about what he had been doing in Redmond,
+ including learning about: Visual Studio integration,
+ Windows installation programs (e.g. InstallShield),
+ and CodeDom. He also attended a meeting of the ECMA
+ standards committee for the CLS.
+ - Will be reviewing submissions to Babel for the next
+ few weeks.
+
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs):
+ Has been working on:
+ - display of arrays in the debuger and changes to the
+ type-related utilitities in std_util.
+ - cosmetic changes and bug fixes for the deep
+ profiler. We had a discussion about what features
+ people would find useful in the deep profiler user
+ interface.
+
+ Simon Taylor (stayl):
+ Has been working on:
+ - smart recompilation
+ - moving mmake functionality into the compiler
+ - higher-order optimisations, focussing on Tom's
+ parser combinators.
+
+ David Overton (dmo):
+ - Has been marking exams (i.e. no work on Mercury this
+ week).
+
+ Mark Brown (dougl):
+ - Has been working on an IL to IL transformation for
+ "retry".
+ - Has been studying the .net debug API.
+
+ Peter Stuckey (pjs):
+ - Has been reading about region-based memory
+ management. We had a discussion about the pros and
+ cons of adding this to Mercury. Summary: it would
+ be too hard to add alongside the Boehm GC, but could
+ work well alongside an accurate GC for some kinds of
+ programs. However, since the accurate GC is still
+ not finished, any development effort that becomes
+ available should go towards that first.
