Eric Winter (who also had microphone problems) is circulating a proposal to have Likelihood and obsSim XML model files be self identifying, using the "xmlns" attribute in the top-level element in the files. The formats are enough different that a program could figure out which is which but having an identifier at the top would make the job easier. This relates to Eric's work on an enhanced version of ModelEditor that could translate (where possible) between Likelihood and obsSim models.

Met again this week. Jean presented comparisons of the performance of the source detection algorithms applied to the obssim2 data. Toby's pointfind currently has the best overall performance - see the plots that Jean posted. Jim also presented the results described above on evaluating TS in unbinned likelihood analysis.
