LANL in debugging hell for hypergridtrees for a few days, but things are looking better now.

Brent has been working on verdict (cell metrics stuff).

UO has a new student: Steven Walten.

Matt has been looking into integrating VTK-m in SW4.

Matt needs expanded capabilities of querying meshes based on the results of locator queries. For example, it is not straightforward to, once a cell containing a point is found, to interpolate within the mesh to that point.

Dave has some progress on ghost cells. Some progress on particle tracing.

Rob has been working on virtuals. Also released VTK-m 1.3.
