Ed- Not to deny the need and the merit in thinking all this through, but I'm concerned that we may be overplanning given how fluid the hardware progress is. We should go lightweight, as it's going to be moving fast, and there will be many different configurations. I spent a day with Matt last week talking about analysis code for his tests. Many of his needs are the same as those for the larger tests- we concluded it'd be very good to try to integrate his work with the rest. He badly needs help analyzing and organizing the data he's taking- would you be willing to give him a hand? (He's doing so many things that any help you can give will be greatly appreciated). Seon will be helping him as well; he's also going to talk with Eric and Herve' about this, as they hope to start integrating some hardware in not too long. Best regards, Henry
