     16== Summary 
     17 
    1818This section should be completed by the PI of the development, before starting to develop the code, in order to find agreement on the method and the implementation beforehand. 
    1919 
    20 === Part 1: Detailed description === 
    21 Describe the goal of development, and the methodology. Add reference documents or publications if relevant. 
     20=== Description 
    2221 
    23 === Part 2: Detailed implementation === 
    24 ==== 2.1 Describe flow chart of the changes in the code. ==== 
    25 ==== 2.2 List the F90 files and modules to be changed ==== 
    26 ==== 2.3 Detailed list of new variables (including namelists) to be defined. Give for each the chosen name (following coding rules), and description ==== 
    27 === Part 3: Summary of updates to be done in the reference manual === 
    28 Using part 1 and 2, define the summary of changes to be done in the NEMO reference manual (tex files): 
     22Describe the goal of development, and the methodology. \\ 
     23Add reference documents or publications if relevant. 
    2924 
    30 '''END of PI's section: once the PI has completed this section, he should send a mail to the previewer(s), asking them to preview the work within two weeks, and add the date in the Starting date of Preview line of table above.''' 
     25=== Implementation 
    3126 
    32 ---- 
    33 == Section 2: Preview to be completed by the previewer(s) == 
    34 Since the preview step must be completed before the PI starts the coding, the previewer(s)  answers are expected to be completed within the two weeks after the PI has sent the request to the previewer(s), see start and end dates of preview above.[[BR]]'''For each question, an iterative process should take place between PI and previewer(s) in order to reach a "YES" answer for each of the following questions.''' 
     271. Describe flow chart of the changes in the code 
     282. List the `.F90` files and modules to be changed 
     293. Detailed list of new variables to be defined (including namelists), give for each the chosen name and description wrt coding rules. 
    3530 
    36 || Questions || Discussion || Answer [[BR]]("YES" or "NO") || 
    37 || '''Does the previewer agree with the proposed methodology?''' || || || 
    38 || '''Does the previewer agree with the proposed flowchart and list of routines to be changed?''' || || || 
    39 || '''Does the previewer agree with the proposed new list of variables, including agreement with coding rules?''' || || || 
    40 || '''Does the previewer agree with the proposed summary of updates in reference manual?''' || || || 
     31=== Documentation updates 
    4132 
    42 [[BR]]Once all "YES" have been reached, Ending date of preview should be added in table above, and the PI can start the development into his development branch. 
     33Using part 1 and 2, define the summary of changes to be done in the NEMO literature (manuals, guide, web pages, ...). 
    4334 
    44 ---- 
    45 == Section 3: Review to be completed by the reviewer(s) == 
    46 Once the development is done, the PI should complete the tests section below and ask the reviewers to start their review, and add the date in the table above. A sucessful review is needed to schedule the merge of this development into the future NEMO release during next Merge Party (usually in November). 
     35Once the PI has completed this section, he should send a mail to the previewer(s), asking them to preview the work within two weeks.

    56 || If some differences appear, is the !ticket describing in detail the impact this change will have on model configurations? || || || 
    57 || Is this change expected to preserve all diagnostics? || || || 
    58 || If no, is reason for the change valid/understood? || || || 
    59 || Are there significant changes in run time/memory? || || ||

    61 === Code changes and documentation === 
    62 || Question || Discussion || Answer || 
    63 || Is the proposed methodology now implemented? || || || 
    64 || Are the code changes in agreement with the flowchart defined at Preview step? || || YES/NO ||

     39Since the preview step must be completed before the PI starts the coding, the previewer(s) answers are expected to be completed within the two weeks after the PI has sent the request to the previewer(s). \\ 
     40For each question, an iterative process should take place between PI and previewer(s) in order to reach a 'YES' answer for each of the following questions.
