Please pick a project (or add your own project, if not in the list), write your name next to it with a link to your blog, where you describe your goals in detail.
most important: Compute an W03 cell unstable manifold Poincaré section and return map for the upper branch solution. Place Gibson's new periodic orbit P47.18 in the W03 cell on it.
I will take the W03 unstable manifold Poincaré sections and return maps for the upper branch project. I have a feeling that I could readily jump into this one given the tools recently provided in channelflow-1.3.4. — Dustin Spieker 2009-03-02 14:39
I took the straightforward, lots of PACE CPU time project: Track existing W03 and GHC solutions and their bifurcations as functions of streamwise , spanwise . — Dustin Spieker 2009-07-02
most straightforward: Search for equilibria of plane Couette with one of the five isotropy groups
that are currently unexplored, in particular the or isotropies described in “Halcrow et al. on symmetries of plane Couette.” Can be executed with channelflow.org “as is”. If successful, a new contribution.
11/04/09 DWS found the first R-isotropy equilibrium, see spieker_blog:daily_blog.
11/12/09 DWS found the first Rz-isotropy invariant equilibrium, see spieker_blog:daily_blog.

Let's agree on all graphics being *.png - that works for both the dokuwiki and pdflaTeX. See How to format figures. — Predrag Cvitanovic 2009-02-27 13:29
Let people experiment with the dividing line. The overhead of blogging via latex and subversion is large enough to slow down my research, deter me from blogging things that I should blog, and commenting on others' blogs, and keeping a current PDF on the web of my blog was such a hassle I never did it (should have used a cron job). This motivated me to start a latex-enabled wiki. On the downside, blogging via wiki would take us further away from publication readiness. The web and the wiki prefer pixel-oriented graphics like PNG and JPEG rather than postscript or PDF, for example. But in my experience blogging figures good enough for publication is a waste of time (getting the fonts, axes, labels, etc just right is very time-consuming –I spend at least a couple hours for every published figure), and the text of a paper is very different from what you write when you're trying to make sense of new ideas. That said, I'm not sure that blogging via wiki is right, so I support letting people experiment.
I lean toward putting most text into individual blogs (easiest to migrate to publications), and putting updates as what the study group might want to read into study group main page.
Need to ponder a rational division between what goes into the communal blog, and what stays in individual blogs.
