Meeting Notes: Bern, May 25 to 27
The following outline was agreed upon during the meeting. It defines the contents of
the web site and some of the book sections. The book sections will follow the
sections defined on the web site. It is expected that some sections will have more
than one contribution. Some contributions will also be submitted to refereed journals.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A. sarkissian has written the following report on the status of the web site:
1- VO registration of Fondue
Access to the VO registry
http://registry.euro-vo.org/index.jsp
All our registered services are in the form
ivo://fondue
This is our Authority
All following services depend from our Authority
ivo://fondue/stellar
ivo://fondue/background
ivo://fondue/comets
ivo://fondue/model/atom
ivo://fondue/model/intensity
ivo://fondue/moon
ivo://fondue/mutual
ivo://fondue/solarinput
If you want to update a resource, then select update in the
menu on the left hand side. You will be asked to indicate your
identifyer, i.e.
ivo:/fondue/xxxx
where xxx is stellar, comets etc...
This edit the resource that you can modify and validate (press
update at the bottom of the ressource). Be carrefull, you have
some seconds only to validate your entry. A message: "your
resource have been updated" is written at the end of your
action, if not, your modification is not validated, try again.
Note that you can also submit a new resource, same operation
starting by create a new resource at the begining.
The same password for all: quemerais
2- Ressources: We agreed on the format ressources will be
provided to FONDUE (link to existing site, local IPSL with
saada) except for UV background model where work must be done
to decide for i) all results on line (Several To) or ii) online app. Test should be done soon. 10-20% of ressources are
ready to be submitted within FONDUE, 30-40% should come before
next deadline (octobre 2009)
3- FONDUE Web Page
Most of web pages are now updated, still one or two to be
rearranged, contributors will be contacted individually.
