I sent an email ahead of time, but now I realize I sent it to the wrong mailing list (isabelle-group instead of isabelle-dev). So here is the description:

 * * *

The "isabelle" group has been (or will be shortly) extended with two new users, both of them working as summer interns under my (co)supervision:

   Martin Desharnais (co-supervisor: Dmitriy Traytel)
   Mathias Fleury

They will need to push changes to the (co)datatypes resp. Sledgehammer. More specifically, Martin will enrich the list of theorems generated by the new (co)datatype package, and Mathias will integrate Sledgehammer better with some more exotic ATPs (e.g. Zipperposition, veriT, LEO-II, Satallax).

 * * *

Sorry for the mixup.
