+We had a meeting of the Mercury group on Fri 29 June, 2001.
+
+Attendees:
+	Zoltan Somogyi (zs)

+	David Overton (dmo)

+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).
