+We had a meeting of the Mercury group on Fri 29 June, 2001.
+

+1. 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.
+
+ Tyson Dowd (trd):
+ - Back from Microsoft.
+ - The .NET backend now works with .NET Beta 2.
+ - Adding support for IL foreign code.
+ - Discussed possible improvements to the foreign code
+ implementation. One suggestion was that the language
+ should allow a default Mercury implementation of a
+ predicate to be overridden by a more efficient foreign
+ code implementation depending on the grade and target
+ language.
+ - Thesis writing.
+
+ Zoltan Somogyi (zs):
+ - Improvements for deep profiling, in particular improving
+ the way profile data is presented to the user.
+
+ Fergus Henderson (fjh):
+ - BABEL conference reviewing.
+ - Fixed unnecessary casting in the high level C backend.
+ - Thought about how Mercury can use Microsoft's codeDOM API.
+
+ Mark Brown (dougl):
+ - Working on an IL->IL transformation to allow
+ retry in the .NET debugger.
+ - Improved the pretty printer.
+ - Fixed a bug in last year's ICFP contest submission.
+
+ Simon Taylor (stayl):
+ - Committed smart recompilation.
+ - Implementing the `--make' compiler option discussed in
+ earlier meetings.
+
+ David Overton (dmo):
+ - Exam marking.
+
+ David Jeffery (dgj):
+ - Thesis writing.
+
+Minutes taken by Simon Taylor (stayl at cs.mu.oz.au).
