Questions
Modes
Do we have the correct list of modes (complete, and no extraneous ones)
Is there a strong priority order for release
Do either of the above need to be discussed with a wider group (e.g. GBSCI, or NanoGRAV)
Dual-backend operation
Do we need this to be fully supported in Astrid (may be a lot of work)?
Or, can we run one backend through Astrid, and configure/run the other through scripts
Data Displays
Review
VegasPulsarDataDisplays
, and decide what we need
In / out of scope items
Is the current list correct?
In particular, data archiving?
Tasks
Short Term Commissioning
covers basic checks of each mode to make sure they work properly
generate a spreadsheet / matrix of tests that need to be done x modes
classify as maintenance time / observing time (lots can be done with artificial pulsar)
Develop effort estimates
Write test plan
Can resuse DIBAS estimates / plans / etc
See

(internal wiki)
And especially
Pulsar Testing
page
I don't seem to have any spreadsheets, etc. Does anyone (Paul?)
Long term Commissioning
Covers GUPPI / VEGAS cross-comparisons
What needs to be done?
