+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.
