date: Wed, 23 May 2001 07:38:48 -0600 from: Tom Wigley subject: Matthews to: Sarah Raper , Sarah Raper , m.hulme@uea.ac.uk Sarah and Mike, I personally do NOT want anyone else developing software that overlaps MAGICC/SCENGEN. I would also be extremely annoyed if Tyndall should support work that is clearly our territory; or even if Tyndall/Hulme should encourage such work. Indeed, Mike should contact this person and point out that his behaviour is quite intolerable. At the very least it breaches the bounds of normal scientific etiquette. Mike, from what Sarah copied to me, this guy seems to think he is producing something consistent with the TAR. This is unlikely. As he is apparently working with Jesper G. (who I know) he must have Jesper's version of the UD model, which is similar to ours -- but clearly not our code. Given that I developed a fair fraction of the MAGICC/SCENGEN concept and code it seems odd that he should copy peripheral people on his doings but not me -- rude and ignorant. Just who is he? Was he at UEA previously? Tell me what you know and I will contact Jesper. For MAGICC/SCENGEN, I am still unsure about whether we want a web version (which I presume is the goal of this Matthews person). Tom.
