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.

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.

Proposal Submission Tool
Tool to add external proposals
 
 
 
We typically receive several externally reviewed proposals (e.g., FERMI, CHANDRA). It is very useful to include these proposals in the PST. We require a tool that allows a PST admin. to import such proposals.
 
 
Proposal Submission Tool
Include author profile in proposal
 
 
 
Currently, when a user creates a proposal and adds authors only part of the author profile data is included in the proposal database. Since author profiles evolve in time we wish to capture the entire profile when the author is added and store this information in the proposal database.
