General Relativity/Notes to GR editors

Since I am sure I'm not the only one who will be editing this page, let's agree on some standards so that everything is cohesive. Here are my suggestions:

1. Certainly we should use follow the Einstein summation convention.

2. Let's agree to use the same signature for the Minkowski metric. I propose the ( − + + + ) signature, i.e., the Minkowski metric $\mathbf{\eta}$ is given by $\mathbf{\eta} (\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}) = -u^0v^0 +u^1v^1 + u^2v^2 + u^3v^3$.

E-mail me or edit the discussion page if you have questions or comments.
