Catchup discussion to bring Graeme Carrad up to speed

== Agenda ==

 Budget::
  discuss issue the PRB had with last dashboard
 State of code changes::
  What state is firmware at, etc.
 Next steps::
  What we are going to do next

----

== Minutes ==
 * budget issue a minor error in dashboard, it seems.
 * question about zoom bands - can RPFITS handle them?
   * at present can read 16 simultaneous, this is a parameter that's easily changed
 * MarkW workload
   * current task he's doing is driven by urgency
   * Euan could take over some of the ATCA software work (50% EFT), but working on 'devaxination' of online s/w until end of 2009 (so we aren't stuck on one - obsolete - version of the Intel compiler)
   * Graeme ultimately sets Marks' priorities
 * Emil using both {{{miriad}}} & {{{casapy}}} to process, reporting issues as he finds them
 * Cross-comparison data sets?
   * CenA has been done in both packages (Feain/Cornwell) but not with CABB data
 * Jamie reports users complaining that ''flagging'' is a painful process
 * another related issue is 'matching up' the outputs of {{{blflag}}} and {{{uvplt}}}.
 * {{{mfcal}}} 'runs out of memory' issue, with {{{interval=0.1}}}.
   * underlying reason is more tasks need conversion to using {{{ptrdiff}}} for array indexing. Only {{{invert}}} has been done thus far.
 * Next meeting proposed for 2009-08-19.

== Actions ==
 * ~~Vince to followup with WEW on state of zoom bands and how he plans to implement them~~
 * Jamie to open tickets regarding complaints he's received (on flagging)
 * Vince to explore making xmltv24 shell script available
 * Emil (and Vince?) to explore revamping {{{pyflag}}}
 * MarkW to continue implementation of time-variable bandpass solutions
 * MarkC to explore changing {{{uvplt}}}, {{{mfcal}}} to use {{{ptrdiff}}}.

== Participants ==
 * Graeme
 * MarkW
 * MarkC
 * Vince
