Web Meeting (Hans, Henrik, Gerd, Martin, Oliver)

Will it b possible to build a basic Modelica compiler that is then extended later?
- Yes that should be possible to use another front-end and focus on compiling the output of that.

Will it be possible to split the Modelica language specification into a base and advanced part?
Hans:
To make this happen will be quite involved. It's too early to say if it will make things really easier.
Oliver:
In terms of maintenance it will be very attractive, but a long way to get there.
Henrik:
Having two specifications will be very bad for new comers.
We cannot afford maintaining two compilers.
Hans:
Even if it's a goal we cannot foresee how long it takes.
Henrik:
One reason for portability issues is the high complexity of Modelica leading to different interpretations.
With a basic Modelica language will be make big step forward in this direction.


Poll:
- lower to Base Modelica: Hans, Henrik, Gerd, Oliver
- abstain: Martin

Decision to change terminology to "Base Modelica"

Next steps:
- update documents as part of the PR [Henrik]
- organize a meeting with the language group to present the results.
- prepare an outline of the presentation [Oliver]
- prepare a first draft of the presentation
- review and discuss in meeting

Change 'Flat Modelica' -> 'Base Modelica' in most places

Some documents, for example old meeting minutes, are not touched.

Rename file to reflect new name of the game

Rename things in grammar to reflect new name of the game

Update "(Flat) Modelica"

Use new terminology of 'lowering'

Check off roadmap item "Settle the name"

This is what this branch is all about.

Update pre-test-impl.md
