[Olympus] Draft agenda for OLYMPUS collaboration meeting

[Jan C. Bernauer]

Dear Stan,

>From what I learned from Juergens nice presentation, I can only warn
against this. We need to learn to walk before we can run, and frankly,
in some sense we haven't even discovered that we have feet yet.

We often discuss high level plots in the past - but then we discover
that there are so many caveats how they are produced that we can not
extract anything from it.

I can only recommend that we go through the list of basics and work on
them point-by-point. The MWPC is arguably in better shape there, but
there also 12-deg-system wide things to do first. For example, it would
be great if finally could get a matching set of efficiencies, with the
same numbers, by two different people. And offsets, resolutions, etc.

One additional point: We already hat the unfortunate incident that the
first look on lumi data provided great results, which then later turned
out to be accidental. This put us in a bad situation with the PRC,
something I wouldn't like to repeat.
It's also very easy to bias oneself looking at such plots.

Best,
Jan
