 * czar/summitcopy investigator
 * ifaps1 liason
   * answered questions for Klaus and Tom
   * transferred a copy of LAP dvodb to ipp022
 * investigated psf_major changes between tags (yes, there are changes, yes, the current tag is the correct calc)
 * further rsync testing of the big dvodb. It's slow (4-6 hours between minidvodb merges)
 * addstar work continuing (for better ways to handle merges of minidvodbs)
=== Roy Henderson ===


 * PSVO:
  * added sub-menus to XML plugin query files
  * wrote recursive function to parse sub-menus
  * plugin files now online so PSVO clients can update dynamically (defaults to local copy if offline)
  * added more queries
  * released new version

 * Loading:
  * usual loading monitoring/czaring
  * processed some of the stragglers from the OLD 3pi processing (some were missing from Gene's backup DVO I had been using)
  * yet more dupes during merge. Worked on a list of batches for Sue to remove. 

 * ippToPsps development:
  * datastore delete failing. Spent ages tracking it down. My mistake: fixed.
  * working on clients creating their own scratch Dbs using PID as part of name to avoid conflict and ease of client-start-up

 * looked into providing plots for Heather to asses load on ipp005 during loading
=== Mark Huber ===
 * finished stepping through ppStack and working on summary tests.
=== Bill Sweeney ===
 * Spent this week implementing the new image processing pipeline stage static sky calibration. 
   * new staticskytool modes
   * new script
   * tweaks to recipes and file rules for psastro
   * code to read in Extended source parameters so that they can be saved.
 * Changed the postage stamp server and update processing allow postage stamps to be released without magic censoring. Horray!
 * Changed distribution to allow nightly science data to be released uncesored.
 * Cleaned up distribution mess caused by removing the magic requirement. Old data got queued for distribution when it was no
longer available.
 * Reran M31 raw stage distribution to replace filesets that were damaged by the loss of the ipp064 RAID
