Dear Anita, I have filled the table with the current list of tasks relevant directly to the Transients WG (based on the list prepared within the WG<https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Transients+WG:+list+of+open+tasks+and+continuous+efforts>.). There are many, more technical, tasks that are very important for efficient and improved handling of ToOs and observations of transients. These are listed on various pages related to the OPS department. For the moment I draw the (sometimes arbitrary) line of the responsibilities between the different groups in that I list everything that concerns “performance” studies as relevant for the Transient WG and the AP department and leave everything more technical, like new functionalities etc. in the OPS/IT departments, the DAQ/RTA/ groups, etc. We certainly have to make sure that nothing falls between the cracks, e.g. many of the technical tasks listed on the old page of the Interdisciplinary Transients group<https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/display/HESS/Interdisciplinary+Transients+Group> are still relevant.

Kind regards, Anita Am 05.12.20 um 15:57 schrieb Stefan Wagner: Dear all, as we had not been complete in yesterday's call the following is via mail. It affects all working groups in all departments but implementation differs. We have completed the first year in office and are all very busy with dozens of meetings and lots of work. Nonetheless we should step back and check whether we are still on course or left anything idle. After the first year of the extension, I added requests to the old working group pages (e.g. the former Galactic Working group and Extragalactic Working Group pages), referring to the new groups and went through the projects that had been started in the old groups and are still kept on their pages. Some have been have been closed, others continue well, few have migrated into the new groups but some appear dormant. I would like to ask you to check the status of the projects started more than a year ago. Early next year we should check which old projects have stalled and decide about their fate. Following our Astrophysics October meeting, we listed and linked "Status reports of working groups of the astrophysics department:" on the collaboration meeting place: https://hess-confluence.desy.de/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=H… (you may obviously also link them on your working group pages), but are still missing a few. In case you plan to have a summary for your group that is not yet uploaded, please add to the collection. I would like to reiterate the request for suggestions for the Source of the Month. Please send suggestions to me (we need two per astrophysics working group per year on average) and/or call for proposals within your working groups.
