[BAA Comets] Comets-disc Digest, Vol 20, Issue 2

Fri Jan 3 12:07:42 GMT 2014

Hey to all,

First let me wish you all the best in the year 2014 and may there be a lot
of clear skies and amazing comets :)

As some of you probably noted there was quite some work done on the COBS
site in the last month of 2013.
The analysis page got some quite nice features, also the myobs page was
updated so now the users can edit their observations. There were some
updates also in the user profile sections. A nation and association can now
be selected by user, also a prefill of the observation forms with default
values can be selected.
Also the statistics page was updated so now even more information on the
data stored in the database is shown.

Since there is not much of a response from ICQ we should still send the
observations to them in expected format and probably just from one source
per nation not to burden their email inbox too much.
Since we are preparing a new feature for nation ICQ coordinators i would
like to ask you for a contact of BAA ICQ coordinator who was responsible
for sending ICQ observation reports, so i can grand him access to the new
feature for testing.

Best regards
Jure
COBS administrator
