KB: I need to understand where to tell people to start.

KSK: Should we go from Merlin's chart

SR: The chart is great, but we need to come up with a list of a few things where we can make real progress on them.

MFL: gain and linearity are a great place to start by comparing different methods.

MFL: Use the stack to reduce data from the group in France.

SR: We can get a long way toward convincing people to move toward using DM tools by showing that the results coming from the stack agree with the analysis coming out of the camera tools.

Pre-bootcamp checklist:

Simon already has a task to start filling this out.
SR: we should all fill it out together  SK: that's great.  I'll give it a start. 

Data:

• Steve Ritz can you choose runs to use?  They will need both Fe55 and flats at various illumination.  It seems reasonable to look at data from the same sensors in each run (I don't know if multiple rafts have been run through).  Merlin mentions it might be interesting to have available both "good" and "bad" data, so we get a sense of the dynamic range of these effects.
