[fitsbits] Proposed Changes to the FITS Standard
This is a final call to submit any comments or concerns you may have
about the proposed changes to the FITS Standard format definition document. The public comment period on these proposed changes will officially close on Monday 22 October 2007. Shortly thereafter, the FITS technical panel will review the comments and will produce a revised document that addresses the issues that were raised. This document will then eventually be submitted to the 4 regional FITS committees and the IAU FITS Working Group for final review and approval. The proposed changes are described in 3 documents that are available from the FITS Support Office web site at http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov: 1. A short (9 page) summary of the main recommendations. 2. A color coded "differences" document (137 pages) that shows most of the changes in detail. 3. A draft of the new Standard document (version 3.0, 125 pages) as it would appear if all these changes are accepted. Please post any comments, suggestions, or concerns regarding these proposals (or any other suggestions for improving the Standard document) here on the FITSBITS email list, or on the associated sci.astro.fits newsgroup. Comments may also be submitted to any member of the FITS technical panel that produced these recommendations (listed below). The FITS Technical Panel, William D. Pence (Chair), NASA, Goddard Space Flight Center Lucio Chiappetti, IASF Milano, INAF, Italy Clive G.
