Roundtable

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

There is a problem with the latest version of Kokkos. There are somehow forcing CMake to use their nvcc wrapper, which is screwing everything up.

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.
