Welcome

Welcome to the MPI Standard issues repository. This repository is public to allow anyone to participate in the MPI Forum by viewing and contributing to issues. The associated source code for the MPI Standard however, is kept private to avoid allowing unofficial copies of the MPI Standard to be easily created.

Access to that repository will be freely granted to anyone willing to agree to these requirements:

1. The source code of the MPI Standard must always be kept in a private repository. Github will enforce that this remains true for Github hosted repositories, but this must also be true for unofficial repositories hosted elsewhere (Bitbucket, GitLab, local repositories, etc.).

2. All publicly available compiled versions of the MPI Standard must include the watermarks indicating that it is a draft version of the MPI Standard and not an official version.

3. Anyone requesting access to the source code must have an account on GitHub to more easily access management.

These requirements are not meant to be exclusionary, only to prevent unofficial versions of the MPI Standard from being created and causing confusion for users.

To get access to the private source repository, send an email to Wesley Bland (@wesbland) or Jeff Squyres (@jsquyres).
