-* review receive with timeout.
+* Try to optimize communications when bookkeeping.
+    Add a 'credit' counter for each neighbor.
+    Do not send more real_load than (debt - credit).

 
 

-* verify bookkeeping version.
+* Support heterogeneous platforms?
+   Not sure yet.
+   Should be doable if each process also sends its speed to its neighbors.

 
 

-* add several metrics
-  - message exchanges : number/volume of sent/received data/ctrl messages
+* Add options -j/-J: minimum number of iterations?

 
 

-* add options -j/-J : minimum number of iterations?
+* Add options -f/-F: termination based on flops achieved?

 
 

-* add options -f/-F : termination based on flops achieved?
+* Choose a license before making the code public.
+   CeCILL-B?

 
 

-* add a variant to (not) change neighbor load information at send?
+* Translate french parts in english (README, QUESTIONS, ALGORITHMS, ...)
+   Not urgent.

 
 

-* implement loba_* algorithms (start with some trivial one)
+* Add synchronized mode?
+   No.

 
 

-* for automatic process topology,
-   -> implement some random initial distribution of load
-
-* add synchronized mode

-* translate README file?
+* Add a variant to (not) change neighbor load information at send?
+   No.
