sPHENIX EMCal discussion

[John Haggerty <haggerty AT bnl.gov>]

Hello,

I put version 0.99 of the sPHENIX Pre-Conceptual Design Report on an 
Indico page here:

> https://indico.bnl.gov/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=1483

(the pCDR link) which should be accessible to PHENIX and non-PHENIX 
alike.  There is still work going on to complete the document, but the 
hard deadline is to have it complete for the review committee two weeks 
in advance, on Monday, October 26.  PHENIX tradition is a one week 
comment period which will be up next Saturday (October 24), but the 
sooner comments can be received and acted upon by the many authors and 
editors, the better, so if you could make comments and corrections by 
Thursday, that will give us more time to finalize the TeX and clean up 
any figures that still need cleaning up.

I would like to try crowdsourcing the small grammatical corrections that 
take a lot of time in finalizing a  document like this from many 
authors--if you see small changes in working that are needed, try fixing 
them on the Overleaf site itself:

This document has really been a collaborative effort, with writing, 
editing, figures, simulation, and engineering from a large and diverse 
group of people who have come together around this proposal, and it's 
gratifying to see it come together.  It has always impressed me how 
PHENIX comes together to get a job done, and it looks like sPHENIX is 
following that example.
