Outline of the BTF paper by Erwin de Blok (25-2-2002)
-----------------------------------------------------

* Description of sample

* Data and corrections
	* Descriptions of method to measure line widths
	* Description of method to measure inclinations
	* Corrections to linewidths and magnitudes (inclination, random motion,
	  instrumental resolution, extinction)
	* Corrections to recession velocities (to Local Group frame, also
	  POTENT etc for nearby galaxies)

	* Describe B-band data - note heterogeneous nature
	* Use CCD data or raw LEDA data to estimate uncertainty in magnitudes

* 2MASS data
	* Describe 2MASS data
	* Compare uncertainties with optical data

* Classical TF
	* Plot classical TF.
	* Determine slope and scatter using B and 2MASS.


* Baryonic TF
  	* Describe Baryonic TF principle
	* Apply correction
	* Determine slope and scatter.
	* Compare with classical TF.
	* Any sign of break at 90 km/s

* Conclusions
	* Has BTF really improved TF?
	* Did 2MASS data help?
	* Does it tell us anything about Dark Matter?
