  1. be able to process svac, cal and beamtest input data files.
  2. provide soon feedback information to the web front-end (perhaps a "fake" run mode, which would be started by typing "skimmer try" ?)
  3. have a "merge" options for the output data files ? => do study hadd.
  4. generically scan, display, and copy auxiliary objects found in ROOT files.
  5. The GlastDataTypes C++ class have harcoded data types and values. They should rather be read from a configuration file, under the controll of the user.
  6. That same configuration file, or a separate one, should contain parameters instead of the environnements variables. Why not GAUDI parameter files ? Should we depend on GAUDI ?
  7. For the communication with the Web front-end, we should favor a early detection of problems, and setup a standard way to feed back the front-end with such early information (which could include an evaluation of the job end).
  8. Study the use-case "no tcut". In such a case, we should perhaps skip the use of a file containing the list of all data files.
  9. Enable tcuts through multiple data kinds.
  10. Idea : ensure that when a skimming is failing, the incomplete output data files is erased. Then, change the skimming step so that it will check that some output files already exists or not, and only do the ones which are lacking ? (a SK_FORCE_SKIP would enforce the skimming whatever the files, and perhaps would be "true" by default).
  11. In case there is no database available, implement an automatic search of input data files, for example in all subdirectories under the elements of SK_DATA_TOP_DIRS.

Bugs

  1. When one type a Control-C during the execution of the skimmer test suite, this let a ROOT process running indefinitively. We should find out at which level the Control-C is not transmistted.
  2. From time to time, the content of the produced ROOT files seems to change a little. Before we can investigate more this bug, we should wait for the test suite to be improved, and everything to be compiled, so that we can avoit CINT problems.
