[Vp-integration-subgroup] White paper discussion

[Jacob Barhak]

Greetings white paper contributors,

There was a discussion that took place via zoom at 11am EDT today 5/17/2021
about how to continue the paper revisions. Since it involves many people, I
figured I send a summary of

Here are the participants I remember in no particular order - some joined
for only part of the discussion:
Alexander Kulesza
Tomas Helikar
John Gennari
Rahuman Sheriff
Eric Forgoston
Yaling Liu
Jacob Barhak
Hana M. Dobrovolny
Tingting Tang
William Waites
James Glazier

If I missed anyone, please let everyone know.

The discussion involved how to make edits. Main discussion points were:

   - John Gennari offered editorial services for a fthe next two weeks
   - Jacob Barhak insisted on agreement of all contributors on final
   version and pointed out that some contributions were entirely deleted in a
   recent edit which may not be useful to reach consensus
   - Rahuman Sheriff suggested that contributors will be assigned to
   specific sections and their ideas will be preserved in those sections -
   this proposal gained wide approval
   - Tingting Tang asked to contribute to a section on issues with data
   - Eric Forgoston asked to add back text about stochastic elements in
   modeling
   - James Glazier mentioned special issues and later mentioned he is ok
   with some of those not being in the paper
   - There was an attempt to recognize the main contributors to several
   sections, yet this was incomplete so it was decided that John Gennari will
   locate the main contributors by section and send an email to the group with
   a list of contributors per section with a link to the draft that we will
   work on
   - Alexander Kulesza and Tomas Helikar who are new contributors will
   identify a section they wish to contribute to and send text for that
   section.
   - Jacob Barhak mentioned that not all contributors are listed on the
   mailing list -  the recipients of this email should include all
   contributors.
   - Jacob Barhak emphasized the need to finalize this editing process
   quickly to avoid delaying science

If there are major topics discussed that I summarized incorrectly or I have
not mentioned, feel free to reply to the group with additions and
corrections - it is important that all contributors, even those who can not
attend, understand the process we are going to take.

Hopefully my summary of what was discussed is good enough, yet corrections
are welcome.

          Jacob
