Agenda

Deadline for model changes (Wen)

Caltech find it hard to check data

  • Currently only a week between models tagging (Hinxton) and upload.
    • Big model changes/multiple model changes cause problems
    • Encountered lots of problem for WS237
  • Propose that model changes can be finalized one month before the data upload.

HX proposal

To give a 3 week window rather than 1.

Wednesday before the current "Proposal Deadline" call = New deadline for proposals

  • Models should have bee tested by Proposing curators
  • programmers/curators responsible for dumping data and producing upload databases should have been contacted by proposing curator and pipelines should be on the way to being developed for next phase

Thursday Conference call

  • Pre-tagged models in place
  • Summary of models for next release

2weeks

  • Models testing
    • Hinxton incorporate changes/retractions to proposed models
    • Caltech test/implement citace production code

Thursday Conference call

  • Final tagged models in place
  • Summary of changes in models since last call (Model retractions/changes)

1 week to produce final upload databases (If no modifications from the pre-tagged models then the upload should be ready??)
