Final Product Generation

In many ways, we are in good shape to release final products:

• We have worked with nearly identical data for 6 years.
• We have shown that under "usual" conditions we meet the Level 1 Specs.

In other ways, we are in poor shape:

• We have so far analyzed only a small amount of data (~0.5% of sky in detail; ~5% of the sky somewhat).
• We do not have the entire sky processed to perform global analysis, as we did for IRAS.
• We are trying to put out products at the same time as we are revising the processing code to handle "features" such as J-band jumps and tracking down anomalies discovered in large amounts of data.
