1. Operational/User Support Items Completed During This Cycle

For each support item, please list the amount of effort involved as either: low, medium, or high. Guidelines for these rankings are as follows:
  • low - Things that take less than two hours.
  • medium - Things that take more than two hours, but less than eight hours.
  • high - Things that take more than eight hours.

If multiple people are involved in an item, please list it only once. Effort estimates should reflect total time elapsed, i.e. how long did it take to fix the problem start to finish - not the sum total of each person's time.

  • date - name - effort


2. Commitments

The default/unsorted state reflects priority order for this cycle.

As MRs are completed and additional details are available on each task, Open Sky should comment regarding which elements can be fit into a 4-week development period, and which should be migrated down to Background Tasks.

VLA sub-arrays and dual frequencies
This MR is on hold awaiting a recommendation from Mark Claussen about how to handle it in the system. Two Issues: 1. The current implementation of VLA sub-arrays may not accommodate all cases; 2. Dual frequency modes (4P and LP) are not accommodated.

Source velocity reference frame and definition
 
The current list of parameters that define a source do not include the velocity reference frame and definition.
