        + Thirteen students with us:
                + data extraction: phone numbers from most students, to
                  help poke in extremis.

        + send gmail details to Michael if you want to get added

* Doxygen branch (Michael S)
        + merge it into 4.1 - or delay until 4.2 ?
        + converts the IDL docs & comments in there to what doxygen expects
        + requires the very latest doxygen release
                + now about a week old.
        + either on system, or disable documentation ?
                + we do have internal doxygen for windows / mac already (Thorsten)
        + is it required - without it it doesn't work (Kendy)
                + comments in IDL files, have to be either autodoc understands,
                  or doxygen understands; or result will look awful. (Michael S)

        + problems maintaining the branch - service conversions going on etc.
        + merge to master, and so can fix the build machines so we have
          the right doxygen on them
AI:             + add a doxygen version check to configure (Michael S)
