ECP task updates

ECP/VTK-m Project Management

Roundtable

There was a change on the release branch to allow VTK-m to be compiled with VTK Edge. Vicente will cut a 1.6.0-rc2. Hopefully by next week if everything is working well we will be able to release 1.6.0 proper.

Wiki will go away at some point (and will definitely move soon). We should avoid using it for anything other than these notes.

Rename master branch?

• Need to wait for some changes to git before the transition (for some automated features of repo).
• Can we for a time have a master that mirrors the new default?
  • Don't know, but seems possible. Will have to look into that.
