... Some things we learned
? keep inventing new methods (e.g.
JAMS) improvement due to statistics and
efficiency ? small differences in processing
can make big differences at intermediate -
fake dominated - levels uniform datasets very
helpful ? entering precision era systematics
more and more important PHOTONICS !

Priorities

• Simulation/Photonics
• need help (TWR!)
• replacement for Paolo (production code)
• ? 4 year analyses !
• point source atmospheric neutrino
• diffuse (muon, cascade)
• publish ! (e.g. GRB, Ice ...)
• use Sieglinde ...and Icetray (for A II X)
