open questions:

MIDI: Frame/sampling rate?

Considerations for assessment:

  • Is there a running pipeline?
  • Do pipeline products meet requirements for science work?
  • Does pipelinie meet technical requirements
    • Stability
    • Run time
    • Data volume / storage capacity
  • Setting scientific priority
    • What kind of obs. are of general interest?
    • How to measure?
      • No. of observations / observers
      • Over booking
      • Sky coverage
      • Number of related publications
