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 $\mathbf {\eta } (\mathbf {u} ,\mathbf {v} )=-u^{0}v^{0}+u^{1}v^{1}+u^{2}v^{2}+u^{3}v^{3}$.

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