FITS WCS Paper V: Time
======================

Draft is available for comment
------------------------------


I have the pleasure, on behalf of the team of authors, of (finally)
announcing the draft of WCS Paper V on Time coordinates.

The group of authors has worked quite hard over the winter to get to
this point where we feel it is ready for public discussion.
During this time our dear and respected friend and co-author Pete
Bunclark passed away. He put a lot of effort into this paper
during the last months of his life and without him it would not have
been where it is today.

You may find the draft (Version 0.71) and some useful links at:

http://hea-www.harvard.edu/~arots/TimeWCS/

This version still needs some polishing and there are a few issues
that are yet to be resolved. You will notiice editorial comments
printed in red.

The intent is that this discussion be carried on through
even though this announcement also goes out on
fitsbits.


Enjoy!

- Arnold Rots
