<div>Hi Jacob</div>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Option 1 is good – you could set a word limit for each contributor and ask us to edit our section</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards</div>

<div dir="ltr">
<div>Hi All, yet especially our SpringSim paper authors,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Those of you that joined the group before 9-Jan may recall that we took the correspondence in this group and formed it into a paper that was submitted to SpringSim. Here is the paper draft submitted:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><a href="https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1886/PopModExample_Submit_2015_01_09.doc" target="_blank">https://simtk.org/docman/view.php/962/1886/PopModExample_Submit_2015_01_09.doc</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>To be clear, if you introduced yourself to the group and sent references before 9-Jan and unless you specified otherwise you are an author in the paper.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Work in Progress (WIP) editor Gregory Zacharewicz has responded to our submission. Here are his comments:</div>

</div>
<div>###### Relevant Response Text #######</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On behalf of the SpringWIP 2015 WIP Program Committee, your paper seems promising and can have the potential to appear as Work in Progress at the conference:<br>
<br>
Population Modeling by Examples<br>
<br>
Nevertheless it does not respect some of the following format constraints:<br>
<br>
1. Title must have the mention "(WIP)"<br>
2. Check the paper format according to the author kit<br>
<a href="http://www.scs.org/documents/2014%20New%20Author%20Kit.zip" target="_blank">http://www.scs.org/documents/2014%20New%20Author%20Kit.zip</a><br>
3. Respect the 6 pages limitation<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>###### End of relevant Response Text #######</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here are 3 possible actions we can take as a group:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Shorten text of each contributor to be of limited size. This seems the default solution and I can take care of it with your permission.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. Transfer the last few contributors to a new paper that will be submitted to SummerSim with new contributions collected after January 9th. We can quickly assemble such a paper to include our new members - we grew by 50% since then.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>3. Decide on another publication venue that will allow a longer paper, i.e. journal, conference, book, web site, etc. - If you have ideas, please suggest.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>At this point, I would like to know what the group thinks. I would ask paper contributors to briefly respond to the list before Monday February 22. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also, if you plan to attend SpringSim in April in Virginia please let me know. I would appreciate help in presentation.
