  * Update on maps + analysis
  * Workshop
 
=== Notes (Shaul) ===

Analysis
  * Clem was delayed by a proposal. Resolved to make progress this week.
  * Mathieu is requesting three simplifications that are moving us away from reality: delta-function bands, fixed beam size/band, use nside 16. Mathieu says that these are the current Commander limitations. 
  * Soumen and Belen can handle varying resolution, and higher nside. 
  * There is a question about the pixel window function, Clem will check that this is done correctly. 
  * Question: there are no polarized point sources in the maps? CP: no. shouldn't be important for low \ell
  * Belen: what is the expected dispersion of noise in the maps? MR: I don't know. Shaul says he should be able to calculate. 
  * Soumen: would like to have maps of the input components. CP: will provide. 
  * MR: do the maps have non zero r? CP: half will have r=0 and half non zero. 

Workshop
  * How do we quantify cleaning performance? Only sigma(r)? MR advocates looking at the reconstructed power spectrum.
