OPAL upgrades - cont

Proposal submission is more flexible any member of a team may now submit/update or withdraw a proposal New tools for OPAL/TAC adminstrators and telescope schedulers We still plan to improve ease-of-use for observations tables and source lists


ATOA

A question for ATUC

The ATOA is still only used for ATCA. Is it also needed for Mopra, LBA, Tid &/or Parkes? If so ­ in what order of priority?
