    Yes, definitely.

    We can discuss the dithers; I think that we're fine with them. The
    reason they caused us a lot of work this time was just that we had
    always worked with smaller dithers, so our search procedure implicitly
    assumed it and worked chip-by-chip. There are issues with bigger
    dithers-- the geometric transformation stuff, mostly-- but we can
    certainly work with it if the rest of the players inthe Big Project need
    those dithers.

    We should also figure out a standard star strategy. Even if the Subaru
    system isn't yet in place, we need some sort of approximation to use.

    All of this we can start talking about in July!
