AFAIK MPI Programming == HPC clustering
Which is an entirely different subject from HA-clustering.

Of course also a very interesting topic, but has relatively few links 
with HA.

Maybe a split in HA-Clustering, HPC-clustering and large-scale sysadmin 
with gentoo.
The large-scale sysadmin is overlapping for both, HA can be usefull in 
smaller setups, HPC is seldomly used in small setup AFAIK

Suggest we pick one of the usual free licenses (maybe the same as the 
gentoo documentation project uses ?)

I think we should determine topic first (see above)
