• czar monday, on-going learning on the processing flow and problem recovery.
• MD07.V3 refstacks setup, finished, verified and distributed along with sample of nightly stacks with various dates since 4/2009.
• ppSub/ppStack -- still tracing through process. focused on strange results in convolution to target PSF.
• psphotStack testing -- tracked down bug causing memory issue, setup for running SAS.footprint, SAS.123 and MD04 staticsky sample.

Bill Sweeney

• worked on background restore scripts to allow them to operate without a chip or warp BackgroundRun being defined. This will allow the postage stamp server to use "almost" the same code to implement background uncorrected postage stamps
• Wrote a script to find and copy all of the magic streaks files to a directory on stare00 for Paul Sydney
• Helped Heather debug a configuration file problem with the trunk.
• one day as processing czar. Unfortunately we are still getting corrupt output files. We're not sure if the switch to hard nfs mounts helped or not.

Chris Waters

• Diskspace: further study of currently used diskspace. Switched to a more complete diskspace measurement based on the actual disk usage. However, counts do not agree well between database entries and disk files, so this requires more work. Updated documentation.
• Sky background: Various tests and iterations to change which cells receive pattern corrections. It appears that more cells have this correction performed than need it, and this causes the sky background level to be fit poorly.
