Release priorities

The highest priority for the project in development cycle v1.7 is to continue the process of scientific integration. This includes:

1.

Scientific completeness: Demonstrated end-to-end reduction capabilities for targeted instruments in all scientifically important observing and reduction modes.

2.

Usability by the astronomical community: Quality of the user interface, applications presentation and user documentation.

3.

Robustness, correctness and accuracy: Prove the correctness and robustness of existing capabilities and ensure comparable performance to other disk-based packages.

4.

Continued deployment to an expanded user base: Continue to increase the scientific user base for AIPS++.

Maintaining a sound infrastructure in the project is important however, and infrastructure work has been scheduled for this cycle carefully; primarily in areas which are vital for the long-term vitality of the project, or which are in the critical path for application development.
