Free - as in beer - and also free - as in widest possible audience - peer
review labor! We will certainly be very grateful for there assistance. 

The interfaces I am working on are intended to be concise (good for these
guys also) but pretty low level (perhaps not good for that audience), and so
we will need to decide where the high level stuff needs to be before going
forward with a high level review perhaps. I have no problem with them
looking as the low level stuff as long as we explain that this is a
foundation interface, and that less efficient synchronous interfaces with
built-in (fixed property set) data types will also be supplied.

Subject: meeting in July / ca interface specification

Dear all,

at SLAC we have decided to hold the next meeting at Argonne  from 11 to 
15th of July.
Does this date still stand?
Does someone already know the precise dates - like i.e. no meeting on 
Friday?
I'll have to make plane reservations and get my trip approved.
Thanks :-)

Another issue:
It comes to my mind that the interface for channel access V4 should be 
also discussed and defined by those people writing the high level 
(machine)physics applications. They will probably have the highest 
demand for new features.
I am thinking of guys like Tom Pelaia, Roland Mueller, Greg White, (Andy 
Goetz?), and someone from Argonne, Jlab, Cosylab...
Should we pass them the current state and ask them for their comments?
Even though this functionality will be mainly used in EPICS Office 
applications I think we should discuss it inside and outside the EPICS 
Office framework. Please let me know what you think about it.
Will Kay and Doug coordinate this issue? Otherwise I'll be glad to help.

Looking forward to see you next month.

Regards
Matthias
