I cannot make it today but that would work most Saturdays.  If you are 
going to meet today, I will try to join you later on.

Just a thought; maybe, rather than one big jamboree meeting, we should 
have a regualr slot on #gcc?

The approach to integrating intrinsic modules needs to be talked through.

Reform of array descriptors to cope with stride in bytes not being 
modulo the size of the type.

What happened/is happening to the work to change to C type arrays?

between the numerics and the marshalling of the constructors.
