Greetings and saluations from the Science IPT. We are trying to keep track of all the notes, checklist, updates, etc. of events that are taking place at the ATF. As such, we have created this few short pages where you can put your most recent updates and checklist so the next person/observer will have access. So far, we have recognized the following as important checklists that need to be updated regularly:

The easiest way to edit and submit a new checklist is to "view" the checklist in your favorite browser application. Then select the entire text and import it into vi, pico, emacs, Word, etc... and edit the text accordingly. After doing so, click on "Submit a new Checklist" and paste the contents of your edit into the textbox. This will save the code from adding extra line breaks from where they are not necessarily needed.

This may not be the best way to keep track of updates and I am always open to suggestions as to how to make the system better.
