We will analyze that preliminary catalog and rerun the FPG as needed, with the anticipated final run finished by 1 March 1999. A firm IPAC policy is to make no changes to products for a month before their release, in order to make sure that any bugs introduced by the last changes are caught. During that month, all analysis plots to verify the data quality are redone using the final products. Scans that are taken one year later. In order to track the progress of the processing, IPAC will supply the following plots, to be updated at least weekly, and preferably to be generated dynamically via webpages.
All plots are versus calendar date.
