[mpiwg-ft] Fwd: MPI FT chapter comments (from Bill Gropp)

[Wesley Bland]

I think we started this process during the last meeting. It's still not
gone, but it's something we're working on. We should try to schedule a time
where (at least) the three of us can get together and go over another draft
of the text.

Thanks,
Wesley
