| Version 1.9 Build 803 |

Tim Cornwell's time devoted to AIPS++ has dropped to about 50% as a result of his new responsibilities as Associate Director for Data Management at NRAO. Many of those new duties affect AIPS++ either directly or indirectly. Many of Tim's maintenance duties have been shifted to others. He remains responsible for assigning and tracking defect reports, which keeps him in close connection with all activities within the project.
In this development cycle, he worked on the following:
Single dish imaging using the imager tool as applied to the GBT commissioning observations. Tim visited GB three times during this cycle to work on this and the visualization of single dish data using the msplot tool.
Tim and Amos Yahil (SUNY) worked on the incorporation of Pixon image deconvolution into AIPS++. The implementation calls IDL from inside AIPS++ routines. Both speed and performance are excellent. At the moment, only single dish data and image plane convolution can be thus treated. Tim continues to work on synthesis data reduction using Pixons.
In addition Tim was deeply involved in many of the management activities within the Project.
