 * Mops Hemocrat
 * bzip is better than gzip to compress dump files (and possibly products?)
=== Heather Flewelling === 

 * continued merging minidvodbs. monday morning: 140/185.  
 * addRun modifications are done, but not fully tested.
 * MD10 and MD09 stacks (for JT) are done
 * started MD04 dvodb for Roy
=== Roy Henderson ===


 * Some design, discussion and a little coding for the implementation of Daniel's query builder into PSVO. Should be ready for Boston....
 
 * Lots of development on ippToPsps, culminating in the loading to PSPS of the first-ever stack format batch, albeit with bogus object IDs. The road to this included:
  * now using local, rather than remote, MySQL database to enable a huge speed increase when loading tables from FITS
  * wrote a method to report which columns of which tables are fully or partially NULL, and to replace those NULLS with weird PSPS '-999' pseudo-NULL value
  * many more stack fields populated after discussions with Jim/Gene
  * implemented XML config file for use with Jython code: includes all Db parameters, paths, DVO and datastore settings etc
  * wrote a python class to handle gpc1 queries, including nebulous calls to return file paths
  * 'DVO' table in database to store all IDs (objID etc). Filled with fake values and used to test load
  * jython code now interfacing with ippToPsps db, getting new batch ID, saving manifest files and publishing to datastore
  * worked with Thomas and Sue loading the stack to the ODM. A few problems encountered, but it loaded eventually
  * started work on Jython version of detection batches, though this is low priority

 * Meetings and discussions about IPP processing required before Boston meeting to ensure a good PSPS demo.

 * Worked through a list of exposures missing from PSPS as reported by Dave Monet. Figured out a good reason for most, if not all.
