Conclusions

We consider the prioritized list below the key to make AIPS++ a success in our community.

• programmability

• development driven by scientific objectives
  • Implement key functionality of existing packages with greater ease of use (as offered by DIFMAP for example)

  • Offer applications that allow new science (e.g. polarization processing)

• a complete path simple VLBI reduction, this involves:
  • fringe fitting

  • data loaders

  • calibration tasks

We think that the work on fringe fitting should not be postponed too long. This work is needed to verify that fringe fitting can be dealt with in the current calibration formalism (the Measurement Equation).

There is considerable interest in the community to use the package in an early stage even when only a small number of functions are available, provided that are documented paths to transfer data from AIPS++ into AIPS and vice-versa.
