Science Tools Working Group
This report is based on hearsay more than most - I forgot to solicit news.
The current release version of the Science Tools remains v9r7p1. Toby pointed out that in this release and apparently others since mid-July the packages related to pulsar tools did not compile under Windows. Some other unit tests failed in the Windows builds as well, although theses may not indicate fundamental problems.
The current HEAD build (1.679) differs from v9r7p1 only in the skymaps and pointlike packages.
I also forgot to check with Richard this week about whether SCS has provided RHEL5/gcc4 systems on the farm for the Release Manager to use. I'd assume that no news is no news.
An agenda for the tutorial session on high-level analyses, to be scheduled for Monday, September 15 at the collaboration meeting at SLAC, will be posted Real Soon Now.
Data products: Proposed additions to FT1 and FT2 contents remain open for comments through today; see here and here. 'Proposed' means suggested. So far, only one comment (mostly nay) about the proposed change to FT1 and no comments about the proposed additions to FT2.
