I find that it is a very nice idea to bring together neutron star observers, astrophysicists and nuclear physicists. It is a very rare opportunity to discuss
but I think that it may be even better to try to write up a short glossary of the present terminology used in the field. This is of course constantly renewing, mainly for the observational part, new objects are discovered, new classes show up, ... But it could be of interest for our communication to define the 20-30 items mostly used and have 5 lines of description. It would fix the 2007 terminology and could be renewed every year.
In practice, the idea would be that each of the participants contribute to 1 item during the workshop, then we collect all the items, built a glossary, and that's done !

Collaborative, evolving documents are what Wikis were invented for -- so I started such a list of classes on Jeremy Heyl's Conference Wiki (linked in the right column on the blog's main page).
Link to glossary.
