Mike,

I think this is a great idea—I’ve long thought that something like this should happen, but it’s never been a big enough priority for me to look into it. 

Best,

John

I've been looking over the field list:


At the bottom of that page, we list the fields specific to each frontend/code.  I'd like to make the presentation for each frontend a table, with columns for the name, units, what its aliases to, and whether it is a particle -- these are what we currently list, and perhaps show the display name.  Showing it as a table for each frontend would be more compact than the list, and I think it would be clearer for people to read.  Before I hack the script that writes that page, I wanted to see if there are any objections.

Also, a minor point, there is a _dynamical_time() field which I assume is the free-fall timescale assuming uniform density throughout the collapse.  I've always seen a '32' not '16' in the denominator (see, e.g. Carroll & Ostlie, Eq. 12.26 or Kippenhahn & Weigert Eq. 27.10).
