CSCF Specific notes

Note 2008/04/22 (lfolland) Given that the entire CF Twiki is now CSCF specific, this page should be considered deprecated and these topics should be moved elsewhere in the Twiki. Please don't add anything new here.

This is meant for internal documentation. Don't put anything here that you wouldn't put into, f'rinstance, www.math.uwaterloo.ca/mfcf/internal, as viewership to this web is not restricted beyond the twiki itself. (I.e., currently, anybody with uwdir credentials.)

Where possible, consider putting notes under specific topics (on the left)
