PFS TWiki for JPL / Caltech deliverables

Introduction

JPL and Caltech are partnering with IPMU, NAOJ, ASIAA, LNA, JHU, Princeton, and LAM in developing PFS. JPL, Caltech, and ASIAA share responsibility for development of the Prime Focus Instrument (PFI) including the 2,400-fiber Cobra positioner. Project scientist - Richard Ellis; PFI Scientist - Michael Seiffert; JPL management - Robin Bruno; Cobra Lead - David Braun; Caltech management - Richard Dekany; PFI subsystems engineering - David Braun, Roger Smith, and Michael Seiffert;

Project Status

Shared Project Documentation

• Released PFI CAD Models: from JPL

Links to Project Office Repositories

• SuMIRe/PFS Wiki (aka PBWorks)
  • For communications across the PFS collaboration
  • Includes links to science cases, WFMOS info, white papers, fact sheet, CoDR materials and links to similar projects
  • Weekly Project-Wide Technical Collaborators' Telecons
  • Weekly Systems Engineering Telecons
• PFS Document Server (docsrv)
  • For collection of technical notes, drawings, presentations
    • Seems to have superseded this area
• subversion (svn) document repository
  • To check out latest version of documents from repository use:
    • svn co https://pfs.ipmu.jp/svn/documents/
  • svn usage, help, and FAQ
• PFS Bugzilla
  • For technical issue tracking by subsystem (as of July '12, spotty adoption)
• Internal PFS Project Wiki
  • Primarily internal use, but contains guidelines for LaTex and Word document submissions to svn
• Other links via the PFS Project Dashboard
• SuMIRe public site at IPMU
