4. Not holding us up but annoying..
There are several places where version numbers are used. The SConscript files have a version number. When GoGui checks out a package, there is no longer a version subdirectory. [Clarification: In the initial checkout of a container and its subpackages there is no sign of package version in the directory structure. It is in the SConscript file, however, and GoGui displays it. If you check out another copy of a package, either tagged or HEAD, into the same container, it must be assigned a directory which does include versioning, e.g. xmlBase-03-04-05. When it comes time to build, if either xmlBase or xmlBase-03-04-05 is selected, only the latter will be built because of the way the names are sorted. This is disconcerting if not downright misleading. GoGui will do a better job in a future release, probably by disabling build and clean on packages (like xmlBase in the situation described) which will not in fact be built or cleaned. Joanne]
GoGui is available on RHEL4 and for Windows. It was suggested that we could have a GoGui demonstration on Wednesday.

How to update the workbook? Chuck explained the working model used for the Science Tool pages. The authors check pages out of CVS and check in the changes made using any HTML editor. When they are complete, they notify Chuck who then incorporates them into the online version of the workbook. The majority of the time spent by Chuck is making sure the format is consistent with the rest of the workbook. Leon and Tom both asked how do we check out a specific page from the workbook? Chuck offered to write up some directions.
heasoft versus astrotools
The current iLat instructions point at the ftools installed in the astrotools area of GLASTROOT at SLAC. Heather does have a more recent version from heasoft 6.5 installed as well. Tom and Tony (and possibly Jim) have been using that one. It would be helpful to determine what addtional items should be included in the new heasoft area, and if we are agreed that this will be the location of future installation of ftools and associated utilities.

There have issues with excessive memory use. Tony will try out the new GR with updated RootIo with some additional JO parameters to see if that helps alleviate the problem. Tony also suggests shutting off the rebuilding of ROOT indices when it is not necessary - this may also be a memory hog.
