List for the 2014 Hot QCD White Paper Writing Group

["W.A. Zajc" <zajc AT nevis.columbia.edu>]

Dear All:

1) Wei Lei has asked to transfer to the “Flow” writing group. This makes good 
sense, so the revised assignments appear below.

2) I realized I was not explicit about the directory structure that Gunther 
set up. Although it’s semi-standard and also semi-obvious, just to be 
explicit: All figures should should go in the /fig subdirectory. I’ve added 
this to the formatting conventions, also below.

Best regards,

Bill

FORMATTING, CONVENTIONS:
=========================

A. We are using BibTeX for referencing. Whenever possible, use the listing 
AND the identifier key provided by InSpire.

B. I have set up a skeleton directory structure corresponding the outline 
previously circulated (plus a modification suggested by Ralf and Tony). If 
you wish to add additional structure and/or \input with new files, please do 
so with care.

C. I do not believe we need to use branches for this simple project. If you 
see a compelling need to do so, please contact me first.

D. I have labeled each section, subsection, etc. in the skeleton with a 
standardized \label name of the form Sec:HopefullyUsefulMnemonic . Please 
follow this same custom when you introduce figures and tables. Every figure 
and table should contain a \label identifier of the form Fig:UsefulName and 
Tab:UsefulName, respectively. Please do not used labels  such as Fig:Figure1 
;-)

E. This is something that can always be solved with a global replace, but I’d 
rather do it at the outset: Let’s refer to figures as 
Figure~\ref{Fig:UsefulName} rather than Fig.~\ref{Fig:UsefulName}, and of 
course similarly for sections and tables. I admit this may be idiosyncratic 
on my part, but we don’t need to follow APS style guides and in fact this 
convention is better suited for general readers.

F. All figures should should go in the /fig subdirectory. And of course, all 
.tex files other than the master file HotQCDWhitePaper.tex should go in the 
/tex subdirectory.
