[Mpi3-ft] Wiki changes

[Josh Hursey]

Thanks for the update.

I think the names "reenable_any_source" and "reenable_collectives"
should be fine. I like that they mean exactly what they are going to
do.

I've been sketching out an update on the recovery proposal. So far I
don't think the names are going to conflict. Pretty much all the
functionality in the recovery proposal includes the names "restore" or
"rejoin". And there is a distinction between 'reenabling collectives
exclusive of newly restored processes' and 'reenabling collectives
inclusive of newly restored processes'. The former is
'reenable_collectives' while the latter is a variation of 'rejoin'
(i.e., rejoin_collectives).

I should have the new recovery proposal done by Monday (I'll post a
note when it is ready). It is a matter of translating my notes to the
wiki, and making sure everything still fitst. So maybe we can talk
about the interaction between the two proposals on the Wednesday
teleconf.

What if we want to add functionality to reenable_collectives in the process recovery proposal to, e.g., restore a process globally if it has been individually restored by one or more processes.  MPI_Comm_reenable_collectives may not be the best name for that function now.  I don't have a good alternative, but here are some candidates for brainstorming:
