Jodrell plans
=============

Tim Ikin: Have Serendip 5 board and VHDL person. Wants to make something for
          Lovell until the ATNF DFB board arrives. Use board for 100MHz dual
          polarisations, integrate for 100ms, send to 8-core node. Who would
          be a good person to ask questions?
Joeri: Paul Demorest at NRAO CV is probably best, as he was central to the ASP
       development, or Don Backer. Are your thinking of getting some expertise
       on the iBOB?
Tim: Yes, Jonathan has the tools and hard ware. Might try those out to see if
     they could be used at Effelsberg 7-beam and Parkes MB 13-beam digital
     filterbanks.


Who What When
=============

Joeri: Would like to get a task list of who want to do what, when, so we
       don't reinvent the wheel 4 times. Randy, what are your thoughts on that?
Randy: Thinks a collaboration on piece-wise basis could work very well. This
       project seems to lend itself well to such a divide-and-conquer approach.
Glenn: More advanced features are more interesting.
Joeri: I agree; we all say the spectrometer is easy, but nobody has actually made
       one. So that should be the first step
Randy + Glenn: Waiting for their BEE2s; what to make on the iBOB?

Berkeley will work on (G)ASP replacement and 10->1Gb switching; NRAO will work on
the spigot-like spectrometer. We'll all post our designs, on the NRAO wiki page
for example.

Misc
====

Joeri: We have working dedispersion code on the web now, from GASP [see below]
       [Then explaining overlaps, and how they tie in to FFT lengths, bandwidths,
        etc. See images below]
