| 4 | |
| 5 | 1. Need a way to turn off data from a single site (at the moment can only do this through registry) |
| 6 | 1. What should a "ping" return at various levels? |
| 7 | 1. Need a way to post messages on the VSO web page (as well as Facebook) |
| 8 | 1. Languages, frameworks, tools for data providers, VSO re-write |
| 9 | 1. SDO Downloads : Lies, damn lies, and statistics |
| 10 | 1. Returning results from compact but mission-long data atoms : |

| 12 | For TSI data sets such as SOHO VIRGO’s, there are level 1 FITS(ish) files with measurements taken every minute, as well as a mission-long (1995 December 4 or so until most recently processed data), calibrated product. Forgetting for the moment about the weird (ASCII) contents of those files, something we’re planning to correct, there’s the VSO issue that when a user requests a long time window of such data, he/she gets a return of whatever the maximum number of the level 1 files allowed is, but not necessarily the entire data set file — which is what 99.9% of the users actually want. Same for other data sets where one, or a few, data points per day is adequate for most of the science done with the instrument. |
