 ====== Summary ======
-This page is destined to be a sandbox for ongoing work to improve the naming of and default values for abinit input variables
+This page is destined to be a memo, to list ongoing work or propositions to improve the naming and default values for abinit input variables
+and other variables or other namings in documentation ...
-====== Naming ======
-General philosophy
-==== Propositions ====
-====== Defaults ======
+===== General philosophy =====
-General philosophy
+We should move towards more useful defaults, and cull some which are counter productive or too specific
+===== Propositions =====
+default for ionmov should now be 22 (XGonze will do it)
+default for ntime should be 20
+default for shiftq should be 0 0 0 (Mverstraete will do it)
+default for shiftk should be
+automatically set depending on space group.  (XGonze will do it)
+nnsclo should be switched to 1 if MD/RELAX beyond the first step (MTorrent will do it)
+[temporary] Use useria to decrease the number of times the SCF cycle must be converged from 2 to 1.   (MTorrent will do it)
+Only for MD.
+boxcutmin: Document usage for DFPT code. Make it clear that 2 is only needed to prepare DFPT calculations (check to be done by HMiranda)
+Check the value of ngfft in hdr% when starting the DFPT code.
+Meta-variable to define behaviour if unexpected values or weird configurations are detected by the code
+e.g. chkprim, nkpt % nprocs != 0
+symsigma defaults to 1. Except for SC-GW
+default for accuracy should be 4
+introduce new input variable "expertise", to trigger default values for the "chk" variables ...
+==== To be clarified ===
+(From ALherbier 20180614 - observed during the beautification ...)
+cpuh, cpum, cpus => should'nt we use INPUT_ONLY and NO_MULTI both for all three variables?
+diecut/diegap => should we incorporate only relevant if iprcel >=21 as in dielam?
+kptbounds => personal remark : a big part of the description should be moved in another place of the website (kind of tutorial somehow).
+occ => not sure if the dimension given in the description is correct (as it does not seem to correspond to the text).
+postoldff => should we give the units (I suppose in hartree/Bohr) in the text description?
+Should we remove the "specified" word in the following case ? *The use of this variable forbids the use of: specified(ngqpt)
+ratsph => the description text contains this "(in version 4.2, this procedure is NOT implemented, unfortunately)". Should it be removed?
+scphon_supercell => "TO BE IMPROVED: should contain a tutorial on how to do self-consistent phonon calculations, David Waroquiers 090831" What should I do with this sentence ?
+slabzbeg/slabzend => should be a scalar according to what I understood but the default value is an array =[0.0, 0.0] ?
+so_psp => Is usepaw==0 still a condition? Or can we now use spin-orbit with paw in recent Abinit version?
+spinat => In the description text, I found "In case of non-collinear magnetism (nsppol=1, nspinor=1, nspden=4)". Shouldn't it be nspinor=2?
+symafm => In the description text, I found "non-collinear magnetism ([[nsppol]]=1, [[nspinor]]=1, [[nspden]]=4)". Shouldn't it be nspinor=2?
+timopt => "If 4  -->  close to [[timopt]]=1, except that the different parts of the lobpcg routine are timed in detail. A different splitting of lobpcg than for [[timopt]]=-3 is provided." Should'nt it be [[timopt]]=3 at the end of this sentence ?
+tl_nprccg => "TO BE IMPROVED: all tl_* and wvl_* variables should contain a link to a tutorial, David Waroquiers 090831." What should I do with this sentence?
+wvl_hgrid => Not in the list of gstate ! should'nt it be the case ? (as for other wvl_* variables)
