Jobs to do

A list of things that need to be done, as at June 21 2007. I've tried to list as many different items as possible, most of which were discussed in our meeting on Wednesday 20th.

JobPerson responsibleComments
Testing of PSRFITS with seek to make sure data is preserved correctly Dick, George? A pre-requisite for doing the data conversion
Pre-scrucnching of timing data via a cron job Lucyna Underway
Conversion of all 70cm data Lucyna Straightforward once we know the conversion is working.
Once converted, incorporate information into mySQL database Lucyna? Matthew? (minimal effort once conversion is started) If we wait till all data is converted, this is only one step.
Work out necessary metadata for the 70cm data to go into database -- what fields in the table? Matthew, Dick, ... What metadata do we want to make public? How similar to the existing "observations" table do we want it
Put Multibeam Survey data onto raid array at Parkes Dick Underway
Make sure the Multibeam survey data is accessible for archive queries Vince
Incorporate the 70cm data into the web archive system Matthew You should be able to download data from this. Will need changes to the index page, as well as the querying process (to incorporate the different metadata, and possibly provide option of selecting just survey or just timing data).
Existing web archive: sort out security issues Matthew (talk with Arkadi)
Existing web archive: organise management of proprietry access Matthew (talk with Arkadi)
Set up VO cone search service that returns a VOTable Matthew This is done for the S70 data, albeit with a kludge to get the S70 data into the database.
Register the VO cone search service Matthew This might have to wait for the next step.
Make archive website live to outside world Vince Obviously this is the final step, once things are working
Convert timer data to PSRFITS ? Beyond scope of this project?

Any comments about these? Feel free to edit, but let me know as well that you've made changes.

Matthew Whiting.
