Symbolics:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have:
* basic objects & operations
* linearization & sensitivity analysis can be added by hand

Need:
* occasional code cleanup
* automatic linearization
* design parameter objects & automated sensitivities


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Geometry:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have:
* generic mesh data structure
* Simplicial cells in 1,2,3D (lines, triangles, tets)
* MeshReader class for Shewchuk's 2D mesh format
* extrusion of 2D meshes into 3D
* generators for simple lines and rectangle meshes
* simple cell sets

Need to write:
* finish parallelization
* MeshReader for exodus mesh files
* quads, prisms, bricks
* symbolic & logical operations on cell sets

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
FE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have:
* serial matrix assembly


Need 
* finish parallelization


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ports:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Linux/egcs: stable

* SGI/C++ 7.2.1: a few problems but mostly functional (3D tests fail due to a
problem with static member instantiation on the SGI; I might still 
find a workaround).

* Solaris 5.7/ WS C++ 5.0: In progress.
