CCPP Framework Meeting Minutes 2020 09 10

Agenda

Implemented ccpp-table-properties
Improved at least one error message when comparing Fortran to metadata
Have not added dependencies to database yet
PR now or in a few days (when database is updated)?
- now so that Julie can fix the unit tests

For CCPP (in)(out) variables, add a new metadata property, diagnostic_name.
Support substitutions such as ${process} and ${scheme_name}?
For non interface variables, allow a diagnostic field in ccpp-table-properties section?
