This page captures the developing plans for the DS6 (final) Study Report. For the most part, this is just revision and updating of existing material, but, as indicated below, there are some new sections to add, based on work undertaken since the preliminary report was issued in January 2007. I've indicated below who I think should be responsible for producing the final version of each section of the report: please feel free to replace with more appropriate names, if desired, and expand on my brief, initial description of what needs to be done.
. I'd prefer to receive text in Word or RTF, but latex or plain text is OK, as are figures in JPEG, GIF, PNG or TIFF.
