+1) Process for adding an example
+
+   - Prepare source code and text description
+   - Give a high level description in a trac ticket
+   - Determine a name (ename) for the example
+      - Propose a new name if creating a new chapter
+      - Use the existing name if adding to an existing chapter
+   - Number the example within the chapter (seq-no)
+   - Create files for the source code with proper tags in
+      sources/Example_<ename>.<seq-no>c.c
+      sources/Example_<ename>.<seq-no>f.f
+   - Create or update the description text in the chapter file
+      Examples_<ename>,tex
+   - If needed, add the new chapter file name in 
+      Makefile
+      openmp-examples.tex
+   - Commit the changes in git and push to the GitHub repo
+   - Discuss and vote in committee
+

+  "name" is the name of an example
+  "type" is the source code type, which can be translated into or from
+          proper file extension (c,cpp,f,f90)
+  "compilable" indicates whether the source code is compilable
+  "linkable" indicates whether the source code is linkable
+  "expect" indicates some expected result for testing purpose
+          "success|failure|nothing" applies to the result of code compilation
+          "rt-error" is for a case where compilation may be successful, 
+          but the code contains potential runtime issues (such as race condition).
+          Alternative would be to just use "conforming" or "non-conforming".
