Image Pipeline (seq631-seq636) Roeland

I would like to ask you to report bugs, issues, and/or feature
requests to the person responsible for the relevant part of the code
base. This person will take appropriate action, and inform you about
it. Use the previous lists to identify this person. If you don't know
whom to send a bug report, send it to either Danny (DB-issues), Erik
(Parallelization, data-server) or me (pipeline, image processing)

A note about terminology:

- A failure in astrometry because the reference catalog can't be
   accessed or because the LDAC configuration parameters are
   inappropriate would be a BUG (i.e. error). We will address these ASAP

- The fact that astrometry fails in some cases when there are too few
   reference object is an ISSUE (i.e. missing functionality, while the
   design implies it can/should be present). We address these in order
   of priority

- To do astrometric calibration in very crowded fields would need a
   FEATURE REQUEST (i.e. the current design does not specify this
   capability). We will only address these if we have time (i.e. not)


When reporting bugs:

- Report the bug to only one person, so that it is very clear who
   is responsible for resolving it

- Provide as much detail as possible. If possibble provide
   instructions on how to reproduce the bug.

- Most of you (should) have CVS write access. If you think you
   have found a fix for a bug, just commit it. This will
   occasionally break something, but that's OK. Really.

- If you submit a bug, please also run the unit tests, and report
   any problems you see there. If possible, add a unit test that
   demonstrates the bug.
