=== Eugene Magnier ===

=== Heather Flewelling === 

 * more addtool/minidvodb work. down to a finite number of outstanding tasks
 * ifaps1 questions answered

=== Bill Giebink ===

=== Roy Henderson ===

 * PSPS
  * Confusion over ra/dec ranges and corresponding Db slices. Now only slices for > -30 dec
  * IN batch issues: discussions as to whether to keep old for historical comparison
  * Wrote up a design (on IPP wiki) for a framework of a recovery system, based on conversations with Conrad
  * Schema changes:
   * survey name added to Survey table in IN batch
   * surveyID added to !SkinnyObject
   * 64-bit (instead of 32-bit) ints for flags

 * IPP
  * Updated 'photCode' parsing script to extract extinction values. Also updated with new zero points.
  * Now logging jobID and corresponding exposureID for auditing purposes. Ultimately, this will be stored in the Db.
  * Now populating detection flags from smf as well as pulling extra flags from DVO
  * surveyID stuff: pulling the right thing from IPP encoding in for PSPS


=== Paul Price ===

 * Streaks in detector coordinates:
  * Added magic clusters input for ppCoord
  * Added 'exposure' mode for magictool to get astrometry file given magic_id
  * Modified magic_process.pl to run ppCoord on streaks and clusters
  * Sped up ppCoord using the 'WCS' file type (doesn't read sources in SMF file)
 * Removed "FPA.OBS" --- was only used to generate warnings, was generating lots; no need for it
 * Background restoration
  * Proof of concept with current tools: can restore pattern row at warp stage using ppVizPattern, ppImage, pswarp, ppArith
  * Planned pipeline design with Gene, developed draft workflow
 * MOPS support
  * Updated ICD with new fields (some long promised, others from Gene's recent work to provide statistics for weeding out bad subtractions)
  * Updated ppMops to provide new fields
  * Designing interface for providing detection efficiencies
  * Decided with Larry to adopt an 'SMF-like' interface format, where IPP concatenates diff CMF files into a single FITS file, with duplicates (from overlapping skycells) removed; this removes complications in providing (and reading) detection efficiencies
 * Magic recertification: ran w and y data through pipeline for verification
  * No streaks missed
  * w-band observations (from !SweetSpot) have significantly more (false?) streaks identified
 * Investigating centroid problem in diff photometry from Dave Young
  * Some SNe have centroids off by ~ 2 arcsec
  * Seems to be due to very flat tops on (S/N)^2^ images so that peak can be on the side, and the peak is then set more or less set in stone as the position
  * PSF_MOMENTS_RADIUS wasn't getting into psphotReadoutMinimal; this also fixes the anti-dipole statistics
 * Writing PSF-matching paper

=== Bill Sweeney ===

 * Did some work insuring that the error codes returned by the postage stamp server for data
that is damaged or otherwise unavailable correctly reflect the situation.
 * Updated pstamp_check_dependent to handle some error conditions encountered processing some requests.
 * updated the pending update queries to wait until corresponding magicDSRun's have been cleaned up.
 * Updated chip stage configuration and script to allow the raw images that have older burntool tables to be re-processed by 'update'.
 * Built a dvo database of recent exposures for Eric Morganson of MPIA.
 * Investigated query about incorrect stamp sizes from users. (The sizes were fine the coordinates were near a skycell boundary and we don't yet have overlapping MD skycells)
 * Updated the postage stamp server interface control document (ICD). It is version 1 now.
 * wrote a new postage stamp request file generator that has an interface that is easier to use.


=== Chris Waters ===
 * mask fractions: Debugged all stages and merged branch.  Change to behavior of camera stage (calculate stats for both 3.0 degree field and maximum unvignetted field) means this isn't implemented yet.
 * exposure level JPEGs: Need to finish database interactions still, but jpegs are being created correctly.
