No EPICS V4 Working Group meeting this week

[White, G. <gr...@sl...>]

Colleagues,

I don't think we have enough coordination or administrative material ready
for an effective meeting this week.

So, no meeting tomorrow 30th May 2012.

Can we have status on these things though:
  * CPP implementations for introspection API and unsigned, status of work. 
    This seems to be taking a long time to get to completion (*Matej*, *Marty*)
  * pvAccess Spec announcement (*Bob*)
  * DS work (*Ralph*)
  * "NTContinuum" proposal (*Michael*).

My status

For the Normative Types work, the status is that the doc has been updated for metadata 
including self-identification [1], and the appendix added for the "any" non-terminal and 
Snapshot and Archiver types. I still have to add versioning, update MultiChannelArray
to support waveform channels, and remove the Time and Freq types. 

I've mainly been ding modelling support for SwissFEL. I've tracked SwissFEL in matlab and now 
working on uploading to a db directly from matlab. I think I many well use simply the 
rdbService as the first model service, so you'd get the whole lattice in one pv get. This means
adding support for "arguments" to rdbService queries. More on this in the next day or two. 

Cheers
Greg
