Here we cover the parts of the development plan appropriate to synthesis imaging. The goals of this development plan are to address pressing needs of the consortium partners and to push forward into new application areas. It is expected that this development plan will be revised from time to time to incorporate, for example, VLBI processing when appropriate.
Items in italics are not directly part of synthesis processing but are needed:
