[MITgcm-devel] Tidying up

D.,

 I'll check the consistency of comments, code etc.. for pkg/timeave.

 For kpp*tave and seaice*tave the docs should go in the pkg/kpp and
pkg/seaice sections of the manual. I just looked at
http://mitgcm.org/R2wiki/DocPkg and .... gosh, that's funny, I see the
initials DM next to these packages! 
 
 It would be really really great if you could start something on these if
only to document the *tave's for those packages. The outline for a pkg/*
section for a package is at http://mitgcm.org/R2wiki/DocBuild. What would be
the most useful thing is if you could do what that recipe says and create
and check in a document with the sections it describes and add the *tave
content. All the packages have the same structure so you can copy an
existing one as a template. If you're not sure what to do you can guess "who
you gonna call" (Ed).

 We have to keep the *tave information with each packages document. However,
the manual is searchable online so it will be fairly easy to find all the
*tave discussions.

 Note http://mitgcm.org/R2wiki - is a Wiki document! That means you can edit
it. See http://mitgcm.org/R2wiki/HelpForBeginners if you're getting started.
