Notes from WBS entries

a) Tasks required before the start of the survey:

Task	Due	Who	State	Notes
IPP to OTIS interface	3/12	CZW	DONE	we now need to iterate with OTIS

b) Tasks not required for the survey start:

Task	Due	Who	State	Notes
Finish Extended Source Analysis Code	3/31	EAM		petrosians, surface brightness profile done
Stack Photometry Process	4/30	EAM		Initial version of the code is now working
Stacks : example PS1 astrometry	3/19	PAP	DONE	this led to discovery of a 1/2 pixel error which caused many problems

Full-Scale Photometry & Astrometry Relative Calibration Demo	3/31	EAM	DONE	once with SAS, again with 3pi yz data
IPP->PSPS : missing detection fields	4/31	RH		requires input from EAM?
IPP->PSPS : missing difference fields	4/31	RH		requires input from EAM?
IPP->PSPS : stack tables	4/31	RH		blocked by 'extended source' task above
IPP->PSPS : finalize recalibration process	4/31	RH		blocked by 'Full-Scale Photometry.. Demo'
ISP automation : create detrends	3/31	HAF	DONE
ISP automation : update recipes	4/7	HAF	DONE
Distribution of Detrend Images	3/31	CZW	DONE
Integrated Release of Uncorrected Data	4/30	PAP
