Review of progress with wrapperAPI
Masha reported that she had implemented all changes decided at the last meeting. She has been testing with the inspiral dso initSearch() and finalizeSearch().

There is potential for conflict between messages passed around by within the wrapper and the dso's. Therefore tags should satisfy the following:

Need to make sure that the searchMaster returns often since the wrapper does not communicate with the mpiAPI until that happens.

Status of the mpiAPI
Phil reported that he has been wrapping the LAM specific commands. He will be testing the interaction with wrapperAPI by the end of the day. mpirun changes have not been made yet. He also has the logging facility in hand; has the script to do the wrapper logging. Moving towards developing a web page for mpiAPI and wrapperAPI.

Review progress with inspiral dso
Trying to fix the data distribution problem has broken the dso. It is not compiling. He will try to have it working by the next meeting.

Any other business
Development under LAM has been working fine. LAL and lalwrapper have been changed to work with LAM. The wrapperAPI is also working with LAM.
