Schedule for F. Masci: Oct 2009 - Mar 2010, including pre-launch 
preparation _not_ in v3.x deliveries.

Pre-launch:

Delivery by Friday July 31, 2009:

   - Parameter tuning using latest sims (both ical and frame co-addition)
     following v3 I&T

   - Calibration infrastructure / directory structure, dynamic
     creation methodology, and frame filtering queries

   - Test accuracy of gradient vs. stack methods for dynamic flats

Delivery by Monday August 31, 2009:

   - Software to estimate non-linearity from 'coarse' on-orbit experiment,
     or characterize from PSF shape versus flux?

   - Software in place to derive low-frequency responsivity maps 
     (adapt from 2MASS?)

Delivery by Friday October 16, 2009:

   - Devise method and write software to check/estimate droop in IOC
     (on a w3,w4 quadrant basis). Check to see if gain or offset matching
     needed.

   - Software to check/derive gain and read-noise maps using IOC data


IOC:

Goal: delivery by Wednesday November 25, 2009 (approximately in this order):

   - Cover-on darks for w1, w2

   - Update/check static bad-pixel masks using cover-on data

   - Determine array orientations with respect to sky. Re-orient ground
     calibrations to match sky frames

   - Tune thresholds of filtering metrics for dynamic flats. Also
     determine optimum flat-fielding windows before/after anneals

   - Optimization of windows and frame filtering metrics for sky-offsets

   - Gain and Read-noise checks/estimation

   - Uncertainty model verification, tuning, scaling factors using pixel
     RMS trending

   - Saturation characterization and dynamic range check

   - Non-linearity estimation, verification and updates

   - Droop characterization

   - Parameter tuning in ical, awod, awaic (best PSFs and bad-pix
     avoidance criteria). Suppress glitch detector for SAA characterization

   - Re-check static bad-pixel masks before end of IOC


Survey Operations:

Delivery by Monday February 1, 2010:

   - Continue optimizing dynamic calibrations, PL parameter tuning

   - Assist with quality assurance (ongoing)

   - Periodic bad-pixel mask updates (ongoing)

   - Science-to-calibration interval matching in prep for v2 processing 
     (ongoing)

   - Explore flat-fielding and sky-offset residuals from variance
     (trending) in source photometry or at least set-up software

Delivery by Wednesday March 31, 2010:

   - Finalize FPG/metadata for archival products

   - Once best PSFs for co-addition in place, make look-up table or graph
     of noise correlation correction factors for aperture photometry off
     co-adds

   - Start to distill documentation/analysis for Explanatory Supplement
