---++!! Agenda
---+++ Status of the updates for the next release in June 2011
   * JMMC Catalogue
      * diam_vk values to be present for all stars, also for those that are present in the Borde or Merand catalogues;
      * fixing of the problem of "faulty diam_vk computed from wrong magnitudes coming from Bordé" mentioned in the email from S. Lafrasse, dated 3 Dec 2010 17:41:54;
      * addition of the MIDI consortium calibrator catalogue;
   * ESO CalVin Interface
      * fixing of a bug in the computation of the shadowing, and addition of delay line limits;
      * addition of the seeing-dependent limiting magnitude for AMBER;
      * enabling of the LST/HA option;
      * enabling of the search by visibility;

---+++ Discussion on possible longer-term improvements
Compared to our original science requirements document, the following items are not yet or not fully implemented. Should they ?

   * Spectral type, luminosity class, temperature, surface gravity, LMN magnitudes in the catalogue
      * information on quality as astrometric reference star;
      * information on quality as spectral calibrator (cf. Sect. 3 of the science requirements document);
   * Use of a bad calibrator list and feedback to the catalogue (cf. Sect. 3 of the science requirements document);
   * Information on previous observations and measured quality of a calibrator (cf. Sect. 4 of the science requirements document);
   * display of feasible LST range for science target and calibrators (also search for desired LST range) cf. Sects. 5&6;
   * "The new tool shall make use of modern visualizing capabilities and be designated with ease of use in mind" (cf. Sect. 7) Are we there ?

---+++ The science requirements document stated
   * "Strategy to find calibrators and to estimate their diameters shall be discussed and regularly revised" How do we do this ?

---+++ Short informal outlook on our collaboration?
