Also (per Carolyn) OAs saw problems if active was not the last checked out. Request for GBS from NASA on Dec 24 is for NIRC2: first half PyWFS, second half SH. Is PyWFS available?

Confusion amongst OAs. New instructions: Record all time working on a problem using start and end time. Let metrics sort out masking. Carolyn asks that we do the same and let metrics handle time tracking. Randy: use details to describe complex situations
