This confluence page presents a summary of the issues and some suggested resolutions. Broadly speaking the issues are related either to what should be included in the catalog or how best to represent the included items in FITS. The issues and proposed resolutions, or any other aspect of the definition of the contents are open for comment (probably most effectively by editing this page rather than inserting Confluence comments).
New issues (July 2007) are here

(Digel) It has gone unspecified until now, but the fluxes and flux history values described above are assumed to apply for the entire time range of the catalog (or of the time interval for a flux history evaluation). The catalog also includes Flux_Peak, Unc_peak_Flux, Signif_Peak, Time_Peak, and Peak_Interval to allow for specification of properties of flaring sources that we see only once for a short period of time. Defining significances for a specific time interval may be problematic, as the time interval has been selected to be when the detection significance is greatest.

12. Source names (25 July 2007)
Is the 1GL J123456-012345 naming scheme what we want to use? (1GL indicating first version of GLAST LAT catalog)
- Is fewer digits of precision acceptable? Probably, I think. So, a name like 1GL J123456-0123 should be enough precision
- Isabelle has suggested that we might be able to use decimal degrees in the names. These would be RA, Dec, but I'm not sure of the format, maybe something like 1GL J305.3-10.6, Wor perhaps just decimal minutes of time, e.g., 1GL J1234.5-0123.
