Marnix reported that building the LinearAlgebra package fails on his computer. I recently fixed a misnomer in Mercury (A flag hpGEM* was checked, but the flag was called Mercury_*), which includes external Blas/Lapack libraries.

It doesn't on my computer, which has neither package, so I suspect Marnix has Blas/Lapack installed and that fails. So I temporarily turned off external Blas/Lapack support, so Mercury will always use its internal Blas/Lapack libraries.

• Anthony Thornton: take out flag checking for the BLAS libraries

How to add particle size distributions to the kernel? MercuryMonth project?

• Anthony Thornton: Add several particle size distributions to the insertion boundaries.

Hao's controlled Shear box simulations could become a boundary condition of MercuryDPM

• Thomas Weinhart: Help Hao creat a controlled shear box boundary

In MercuryMonth, a write up is needed on how to parallelise new contact models, etc

The restart flag confuses users and developers. The difference is that sometimes you want to restart an old simulation, sometimes you want to restart and modify an old simulation. Should those cases be distinguished by the kernel?

MercuryMonth project.

• Thomas Weinhart split into restart/initialiseFromPreviousSimulation

What happens for large time steps?

• Thomas Weinhart add warning to setDissipation if restitution too small
