like to implement in future versions. Among these are the following
topics:

implementation of multigrid methods for
<acronym>deal.II</acronym>. While this is running on globally
refined grids, we are still having problems on locally
- refined grid. We hope to have them sorted out for the next

+ DG methods yet. We hope to have them sorted out for the next
major release.

however, offer advice if anyone wanted to implement this.

- <strong>Linear solvers:</strong>
- We already have the most common linear solvers, such as CG,
- BiCGStab, or Minres. However, there are certainly more
- proficient implementations of these solvers, but that would
- need experts in this field which we certainly are not. It
- would also be of interest to have linear solvers for more
- complicated applications.

- <strong>Faster linear algebra:</strong> The linear
- algebra implementation in <acronym>deal.II</acronym> is quite
- fast, at least compared to other C/C++ implementations. We
- know that Fortran compilers can sometimes do a better job in
- optimizing some algorithms. We therefore would like to
- interface from C to Fortran for that purpose.

- On the other hand, we have made some initial experiments with
- interfacing to BLAS routines on SUN, but it turned out that
- our own implementation of the routines we tried was faster
- than the ones in the vendor BLAS. Nevertheless, interfacing
- to LAPACK or other libraries implementing high level
- algorithms would be interesting.

It would be nice to have the possibility of writing output in
