I've only detailed V1 and V2 stuff for WFCAM and some of these naturally carry over into V3 activities. General things still to do: - define more detailed timelines for all tasks - set up discussion/information distribution forum on internal web page - establish points of contact for various issues arising ?? - software distribution, other than JAC and WFAU do we ?? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ESO specific FTE FTE FTE -o- ESO VISTA software interface deliverables and documention: 0.5 0.5 0.5 interface control document (ICD) ESO/ATC/CASU further development of DQC measures specification of calibration procedures for ESO calibration plan document for ESO instrument specification and interface documents delivery software modules exposure time calculator liaise with VISTA IR camera development team DFS user requirements document [ESO stuff needs its own time framework - its not V1 or V2 or anything that is WFCAM specific. Note that V1 was originally designed to coincide with WFCAM science commissioning. When realistically is that ?] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WFCAM specific V1 V2 V3 Version 1: Ready for end of 2003 with some continuation FTE FTE FTE Version 2: Develop during year after survey operations begin and finalise by notionally end of 2004 Version 3.
