This PR sets versions of software used at or around the June 2017 DESI Collaboration meeting.

Do not merge immediately; there may be additional changes. Use this PR to discuss.

May I suggest that we call the tag 2017.06? That makes it a little more obvious that the tag is date-based.

weaverba137 commented 7 years ago

In fact, it might be worthwhile to just use the full date as the tag name, because we don't want to exclude the possibility that there could be more than one tag in a month (or even in a day for that matter, hmmm...).

My rationale for short name 17.6 instead of full 2017-06-19: Describing it to someone else in a conversation. "I used desimodules seventeen six" instead of "I used desimodules twenty seventeen oh six nineteen". Easier to remember, easier to say. If we made more than one release in a month, I'd go for 17.6a, 17.6b, ...

2017.06 wouldn't be too bad, and could still be pronounced as "seventeen six", though I'd still prefer simple 17.6.

OK, fair enough. Merging & tagging momentarily.
