Hopefully the money allocated for the "wavelet" section of the work will assist the evaluation of its scientific significance rather than duplicate software which already exists. There is 5000 Euros allocated for a student between you and Keith -- I'm not sure what Keith has in mind as it was all arranged in haste. We do have an opportunity to make minor changes -- I'm not sure when the deadline for these will be, but I'm expecting it to be early next week (BertJan is on holiday, so we can't get any more information for the moment). I don't think we can change the make up of the consortium, or resolve any scientific disagreements at this stage -- doing the latter is the main objective of the project. cheers, Martin On Wed, 16 Mar 2005, Tim Osborn wrote: > Dear Martin and Myles, > > I was away in Michigan and Hawaii for some time so couldn't contribute to > the proposal or surrounding discussion.
