      •  
      • Important to keep up with QL for checking observations and QA automation working well (though tuning possible)
      • Need more SE cont. images for "training set", start these in the background, maybe ask DAs to take responsibility/leadership for specific tasks.
      • Cube production will need new version of the pipeline (which will have some rough QA in it to deal with bad planes). Earliest would be this summer.
      • SSG/CIRADA should be asked where we in the sky we should focus cube productionNeeds some thought, but one possibility would be to work on SE automation during the "lull" between B and BnA in April/May if we are not too far behind on QL.
