Stephane, John, and others
Our Imaging and Calibration group discussed this yesterday and came up with several good suggestions.
I played with these overnight and came up with the following revision. The dates still need a lot of
work, as do people assignments etc. A few names and dates are sketched in. In this text version
some descriptions are shortened by the length of the available field. A worksheet version may be
found in anon ftp to ftp.cv.nrao.edu then cd to /pub/NRAO-staff/awootten/mma/almawbs2.wq1
Changes mostly include moving items to more appropriate locations, including some reviews from the
MMA WBS and adding a few items which we thought missing.
