Pat -
ImageStat shares some backend db structures with Vesuvius/PL, and so works in terms of "events" (like disaster events).  Each 3-4 hour task for GCI would be a separate event, i.e., "GCI1", "GCI2", etc.   We would set up each such event with PL admin, then copy over the corresponding batch of images (this is a zipfile import hack and a bit tedious; room for improvement here).  Before all that, partitioning the image corpus into task-sized chunks for zipping can be done by a script, so shouldn't be too bad.

The thinking is that we would start with 10 such tasks (maybe trickled out the first week until we get our sea legs) and anticipate adding 10 tasks per week, more or less as demand and our capabilities dictates.  Besides the work in creating a task, there's the work of evaluating each completed task in a way that is fair, convincing, timely, and not onerous for us.  The first week of this is likely to be demanding.

(Questions for both MIchael and Glenn specifically are included below.)
I've added 3 more mentors to the ImageStat task

So this brings multiple task instances.  There are several tasks that might have multiple instances:

Bug fixing
The above ImageStat task
Making schema diagrams for Eden modules
Write / update user guidelines for an Eden module

Michael --

Should several instances of these tasks be added now?

For the Eden module tasks, I'd recommend that we pick out specific modules and specify the module in the Melange task.

How many of each should be added at the outset?

Glenn --

Do you want multiple instances of the ImageStat task, overall? how many at the outset?
