List of tasks associated with CASA beta and assignments for NAUG mentors April 5, 2007 Steve Myers & Ed Fomalont ====================================================================== We have divided the CASA tasks into groups (and sub-groups) based on functionality, and assigned Primary (and Secondary) mentors to these groups. The mentors will be responsible for: 1. Maintain contact with the developers for those tasks and the tools they are based upon. 2. Lead the testing of these tasks. 3. Make sure the task names and parameters for these tasks are sensible, and that the set of tasks is correct and complete for the functionality needed. 4. Make sure the tasks produce correct results and maintain regression scripts for them. 5. Make sure inline, reference, and cookbook documentation pertaining to these tasks is correct and up-to-date (you may be asked to write parts of the documentation by the documentation leaders Myers & Fomalont). The Primary mentor should make sure that the Secondary mentors are in the loop and can help when needed (e.g. when the primary is unavailable). ====================================================================== --------------------------------------- Cal Group: --------------------------------------- Primary: Fomalont Secondary: Brisken, Whysong --------------------------------------- accum blcal clearcal correct gaincal smooth (should rename calsmooth) split ------------------ Spectral SubGroup: ------------------ Primary: Fomalont Secondary: Shepherd, Brogan ------------------ bandpass contsub ------------------ Pol SubGroup: ------------------ Primary: Myers ------------------ polcal; possible new task (part of gaincal?)
