Subject SNS AP work plan
 
Summary The purpose of this meeting is to reach a consensus on the
priority of group activity, and to plan for immediate/future work.
 
1. Work priority
 
a) The top priority of the group is to develop "horizontal" 
integration of the project, subject by subject, from front end to 
the target. We are not the intellectual owner of each component,
but we are the ultimate owner of the entire project. 
 
b) We are discussing with front end, linac, and ring group on how 
to develop a "big AP team", avoiding duplications, complementing
and enhancing each other, and training ourselves ready to finally 
inherit the machine. We need to win the trust and respect from
our colleagues, and develop an intimate working relationship.
 
c) We need to identify issues and problems, and contribute and
eventually lead studies.
