What should be the proper format? Online or in person over a couple of days? Matt and I are about 1h away from each others.

<div class="">I would personally rank extending the tests coverage pretty high in the priority ranking. Doing so will also help finding flaws in documentation and manual pages.<br class="">
<div>This requires very little knowledge of petsc development.</div>

<div>What other low-hanging fruits can anybody think of?</div>

All,<br class="">

I think that there is quite a bit of low-skills / time consuming work which is a poor use of the main developers’ time: syncing C / Fortran / python headers, improving the tests coverage, proofreading the manual and man pages, etc.<br class="">
<br class="">
I’d be more than happy to help organizing a virtual or in-person event focussing on such janitorial tasks, provided that we can get support from some senior developers to help and review. This could but does not have to be coordinated with the next pets users
meeting.<br class="">

<div class="">This is a good idea. I would participate. Also, I have some money to employ undergraduates. It would be great</div>
<div class="">if we could come up with projects that have some research and some cleaning.</div>
